I don't see any patents made by him in the google patent search :/

Thanks! Did he file a sw patent for you?

As of the FB app on my iPhone, when I wanted to connect it with my phones data (to get extra phone numbers of my friends, and see their profile pics), I was asked to agree that the app can upload the data to FB and let them use it whatever way they want to. (Read: all the phone numbers in my phone, not in the FB app.) That really blew my mind. I didn't agree, but if 500 people have your phone number in their phones, the chance that none of them agrees is zero.

thank you so much!

lol @ noprocrast :D

Can someone explain what these fields are? - notifo - showdead - noprocrast - maxvisit - minaway - delay

how cool!

thank you

Thank you Dirk.

I was looking in the PR book you suggested and also in many others I have found. Let me be straight, I find all of them dry, boring and useless. I had little idea about PR, and I still have little, but I start to realize it is a different animal from what a startup would need. It feels like something mysterious and don't believe in mystery.

You did actually help me to the conclusion, that I will just skip learning PR now and focus on marketing, like rmATinnovafy said. I did need your input, thank you.

This looks interesting as well. Thank you!

Isn't this just a book about lies?

I'd like to read things that our startup could benefit from. We definitely don't want to lie.

Thanks Matthew, appreciate your comment. However, I'd really liked to dive deeper into the topic.

Wow, this guy wrote a number of books! They look very interesting, thanks a lot!

I think you are onto creating a graphical programming language.

You implemented: -variables (shapes in left windows) -objects (collection of variables, the left column, pass by reference) -addition (drag in the middle) -unset (delete) -while(1) loop -multiplication (resize)

I don't know yet where rotation fits into the picture. Maybe its just that "primitive types" in a graphical programming language would be more complex, they could be described with -shape -size -orientation -position

I think I have a use-case for you. Maybe we could talk about it thalter at zupa hu

Congrats, fascinating!

You are a complete idiot :D (good fun thumbs up)

sounds familiar. Exactly 4 times :)

I'd prefer a place that is less perfect. Where you can dig things into the wall, change the furniture or paint your room. Give a place but don't take my freedom.

Besides, it looks amazing! I just didn't want to move in:)

Disagree. What makes it investor's place? If the investors are always around. It would help in connecting with each other. It does not need to be free..

I have to say: this is incredibly intresting! I woulbe be curious how one can pass-in variables.

I'm afraid you can not get much out of the great features of JS. Event drivenness..

Anyway, this blows my mind!

I find it boring to see an apple with a writing: "Eat it!". I guess I can figure it out myself what to do with an apple.

I think it's great to know who you are dealing with, I have a picture of me on my business card as well. Maybe you should concider it.

PG: do you feel you burned your hands with those kind of startups not transferred from RFS2008 to RFS2009? ( For others: http://ycombinator.com/ideas.html , http://ycombinator.com/rfs.html )

If I may go specific, does the idea of a web OS make you go "OMG, forget it"?

Maybe you could use an excel like table as well if the textarea makes a lot trouble. (I like it though..) Nice job!

I think it is a good idea, but..

(1) do you really want to do it live? Why not do it the youtube way? Store the videos, rate them, comment with videos, etc.

(2) you could instead of making true videos split it into 2 parts. Making a video, and attach a text area to it so users can copy/paste your code. One could see the changes live.

(3) I guess this works hard if you want to present an SDK. Maybe you could turn the editable fields into text areas? At least the main one. Kind of a layer over the video.
