    I’m 99% serious about this. Get a bunch of smart hackers with open source experience together, with the sole goal of keeping Firefox’s memory consumption under control. I can guarantee you will get funded be richer than your wildest dreams within a matter of hours. Personally, I almost never pay for software (I stick with…

    I was reading an article by Paul Graham, and he mentioned this… “…dating sites currently suck far worse than search did before Google. They all use the same simple-minded model.

    While I believe the setup (and the limited range of Bluetooth) makes this particular implementation of questionable value, I believe that the idea of locating users by immediate area is awesome.

    The only thing worse than a paranoid entrepreneur is a paranoid entrepreneur who talks to his dog. I fully admit it. I am paranoid as hell. I am someone who (I guess?) is lucky enough to have a very active and creative mind, and is always coming up with new “things.” A lot of it…
