waynesutton··on Show HN: Anonymously Ask a Black Person Anything via SMS
@pcpolice I've been in the internet/tech space for a long time. Developed a think skin and unfortunately expected some of the not so good sms. I'm good. It's a team of 9 answering questions and yes we're all black :)

@pcpolice I certainly understand your point but these are actually questions that people are asking. I mean we don't know who they are, what color, age, etc. But that's what people are asking. I mean look at the twitter feed - https://twitter.com/aablackperson All questions from people

waynesutton··on Startup pack gives away $10k worth of tools to new businesses
yes, it's like BizSpark and Startup America. Regardless good for early stage startups
waynesutton··on New $250 Chromebook
This is great, but why don't chomebooks and the macbook air come with built in 4G/LTE? I mean remember netbooks? Mobile carriers were selling them with contracts.

We're going in 2013 and everything should come with built in 4G/LTE. If the nexus 7 had 4G it would be a winner.

Thanks for posting, this is great, simple CSS grid.
waynesutton··on Show HN: UrbanDesk - Combination Full Size Bed and Desk
I like, even though there are some similar products he could still launch and compete. Regardless if he's the first, if his product brings something "new to the table" it will be good to see competition in the desk space especially if he can come in at a lower price point.

Remember google wasn't the first search engine.

waynesutton··on Ask HN: Startups what tools do you use to pitch investors or anyone else?
I think this question could be split up and/or more detailed.

Example: What tools do you use to pitch investors? (keynote, powerpoint)

What tools do you use to help you pitch to investors and mangage feedback?

What tools do you use to connect with investors to pitch to?

What tools do you use to create a profile so investors can see your pitch?

Good timing and looking forward to seeing more developers use OSM
waynesutton··on Show HN: 5000 best movies
Wondering why 5000? It looks like the scores are based on "IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes." Which means some opinionated data by the "crowds".

Regardless IMHO gladiator ranked at #57 is my favorite.

waynesutton··on 11-Year-Olds Learn Life Lesson During Startup Weekend
Yes, I their age played a big roll. Also you had to be there to experience it. I tried to tell the story as it happen.

The kids were serious in pitching and people voted for them but I don't think everyone who voted for them took them serious and wanted to join their team.

waynesutton··on 11-Year-Olds Learn Life Lesson During Startup Weekend
