"Should Product Mangers wear black? Steve Jobs did..."

Isn't that just a ridiculous argument?

Am I the only one who finds VC telling entrepreneurs "everything is going to crash soon, so you better close soon and on whatever terms you can get" disingenuous?

/agreed

> I can’t emphasize strongly enough to entrepreneurs that if you’re in the process of looking for funding, seed money or an early round, hurry up and get your term sheets signed.

I can't emphasize enough that making statements like these also make negotiations very favorable for investors. Sounds like the investors are in a crunch, and not the entrepreneurial spirit.

... and do you think WSJ is targeted more at the interests investors or entrepreneurs?

+1 He digs even deeper towards the end invoking high unemployment, failed IPO's and the deadlocked administration.

You go preach it. We'll just keep building it.

I'd call it biased, and treat it with skepticism. Disingenuous seems too strong a word. If they really wanted to hide their agenda, they'd astroturf the idea.

Pulse looks pretty cool, but isn't it more of a replacement for Google Reader?

Can I use it for any url?

Only if you can subscribe to RSS. There's nothing else you can do about normal sites without a mobile version. Were you just pinch-to-zooming? You can zoom the page directly on the content just by double tapping the screen, in case you didn't know. It works pretty well usually.

That's too bad. I'm surprised none of the mobile browsers have some kind of reading help.

Slightly disappointed the book is almost entirely empty.

Is it possible to see couple sample pages?

Great suggestion! We don't have any on the site yet, but I'd like to add some as we're able.

"I don’t mind hosting in SF.. we could seat about 10 (with chairs) or 15-20 (if 10 people don’t mind taking the floor…"

mochaleaf.com posted in the comments that they are hosting one in SF.

I'll probably be working on it most of saturday afternoon in Peets in Berkeley, if anyone is interested.

Hey Jon, don't see an email in profile. Also any reason you can't outsource the technical development?

Thought about getting my own studio, but don't really want to sign a 6-12 month lease, not to mention furnishing the entire place only to have to move.

6 month lease isn't bad. I moved around a bit too but in all honesty, moving sucks. Hopefully you're not looking to do a lot of that.

I don't mind where as long as there's BART nearby. Been looking outside SF as well, but again too much noise in the listings.
