Your legal costs shouldn't approach 100k in a seed round! 3-5k ...find a different attorney.

That small 'join now' in the top right corner?? Oh man horrible! I had to go back and search for it as well!

I love your quotes! I am myself a founder just getting to market and these serendipitous encounters and random acts seem to pop up out of nowhere and solidify my progress. Cheers and thanks!

Dreeves~ Loved the post myself! Thank you for sharing. I at times wonder about my startup name, but your criteria laid out does help rationalize a decision. Still am curious about names with numbers...37signals, or 86..

Rockdale would be my choice!

Ok But I think you are missing the point. They reached out to a firm "Matrix Partners" to help them execute by financial means and that firms individuals chose to spin off an exact duplicate of their startup?! Sham! ~That firm should be frowned upon and ridiculed and avoided by all entrepreneurs.

I think as a startup, you have to say screw prior patents. Focus on your product. Build build build and when you've made it, fight back.

Some companies go public on the stock market and don't even raise 200m of cash. To raise 200m in VC capital alone is an enormous task. As for PR, people love public figures and leaders. They want to associate with the individual strife to the top! It makes for an incredible story about your product/service and this is what you want to do. You want to strike an emotion with your users!

May I ask did PG, Trevor, or Robert have and Ipad or computer in front of them during your demo? -I'd love to know!

My question is this...why doesn't a service like Heroku which acts as a Paas...have this built in? I'm on their blog now trying to understand their complete setup..

Thanks for the link Rory, I had to go searching a little deeper to actually find an image of the Falcon 9 Air. Pretty cool: http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/12/pictures-and-information-fr...

Exactly. And what is the end goal of space exploration? Colonize another planet? Do you know how impossible that seems -air, food, facilities?? Billions spent for what exactly...mining operations?

From what I have read on Forbes, Quora, and the link below, it looks like wikipedia might be incorrect. http://arstechnica.com/science/2012/05/spacex-dragon-takes-f... and http://satellite.tmcnet.com/topics/satellite/articles/171190...
