I'm not sure what Parakey's doing, but my idea is to use financial incentives to encourage viral distribution. Install Granmos for your parents, your grandparents, the local senior center, and nursing homes. Then, you get a percentage of advertising revenue from all the new users of Granmos that you're helping.

<i>'... If VCs and angels start competing with each other, there must be a decent-sized market of startups with considerable potential ...'</i><p>My take is the market is re-adjusting. YC has now shown that the cost to get startups to market is low and therefore the average & not so average VC's who want to give more m...

AWS is truly amazing. <p>I'm currently developing an open-source framework that allows theoretically infinite scalability utilizing round-robin dns, S3, EC2, S3DFS (allows mounting an S3 bucket as a local file system on multiple EC2 instances), SQLite (serverless embeddable database where each db is just a flat file). ...

That is not an issued patent, but rather an editited application. There is a good discussion of this on /. The consensus is that this will almost certainly NOT get approved, and that GWT is prior art (used internally at Google since 2004).<p>Like PG says, it would never stand up in court, even if the USPTO actually app...

I'm confused. That doesn't sound very "high-level". No offense but that sounds like the usual-level of frameworkism. I.e., by high-level it sounded like you're looking for something much more domain specific.<p>ObUseful: The separation between view, model, and controller is a driver of simplicity.

Startup Law Generates Terms of Service, Privacy Policy. I know nothing about this area, so this might be a really dumb idea.<p>If that doesn't work, at least a O'Reilly book that talks about these issues...<p>What do you guys think?

This seems dangerous. If the entrepreneur takes VC money before having a working product and user base, then they have no leverage to negotiate a good terms sheet. Better I think to take a seed round and angel round first even if one can go straight to VC. The 15-20% equity you give up in the first two rounds will at l...

If you're an average American watching 4 hours of TV a day just swap that time for your startup and you'll be halfway there. After a month of part time work you'll be able to tell if you should go full time or not.<p>I'd rather be fully immersed in whatever I'm working and make great rice and beans.
