based on what i understand, though most of the people might not agree with me
1. if you are developing something, even tough as side project on your offtime, it is usually own by the company you work for (it will be on your employment contract most of the time)
2. On the other hand, if you think you can make money on your project, and based on what i heard in_California
Non-compete agreements are automatically void as a matter of law in California, except for a small set of specific situations expressly authorized by statute.
3. but the company is going to argue that you get the idea of developing the side project based on your current project
4. so at the end its a matter of getting what you want from the company vs. making the situation into a terrible one.
You can ask for promotion with more money, or options and even run the project as a stake holder.
that all depends on how you and your company react to each other.
Yahoo basically has nothing to lose at all, I meant they dont even have to give the startups $40k at all.
Once Yahoo create a link to your website, you should be able to get enough traffic to make the money from the ad sale especially if the website will get the 2/3 of ads income.
They can choose several startup partners and review them every quarter or year whether to continue the partnership. Its like Y Combinator, where you got advice, etc for equity exchange.
And even tough everyone say yahoo is not doing well. I will be just happy to get 0.0001% of their traffic.
take the best of the two, ipad2 vs samsung galaxy tab 10.1
anytime you browse website on samsung, it feel like its going to fall apart. with ipad2, the experience is just smooth, even with all 9 tabs open.
