Have you already been in touch with the owner? I ask because from my experience - they typically already have a price in mind. So, if you get that from them you will have a starting point.
I wouldn't wait for it to drop either. Take some action up front, to at least find out what they would sell it for.
What should be done with ideas? We all have a ton of them - or there is no shortage good ones. I think many of us feel like we need to keep them quiet in case we decide to use them... but we actually never will us all of them.
It seem like a pretty common theme in stories/post on HN that ideas are really pretty worthless. The real value is in how they are implemented.
Good interview. He makes some good points on the cloud versus local security. Also, agree with his thought on interruptions and roles managers play in most companies.
I like that he sticks to his guns, he doesn't seem willing to compromise quality to make easy money.
This post is reminiscent of The Design of Everyday things. A book that receives much praise but really annoyed me. Not so much the message, but the way it was written.
I never considered comics on the iPad, but that could be really cool. Comics are something of a guilty pleasure for me - I have really enjoyed comics on my iPhone, specifically "The Umbrella Academy".
I hate that all the baseball player I grew up a watching have turned out to be dopers. Nearly every baseball player I loved as a kid has an asterisk next to their records. Also, I was pretty bummed about Floyd Landis losing his TdF title.
But on the flip side I think its pretty cool. I don't really understand why, maybe just because they are able to push what is possible.
