I actually don't know why I thought that was at all funny. It serves as a fairly good reminder to take a break every once in a while.
Incidentally, that you mention the April Fools day posts - A lot of them seemed to be re-posts under slightly altered headings, and I agree, a great many of them were fairly pointless also.
Hadn't thought of that, but it sounds extremely useful.
I imagine a heatmap would be more applicable to a SOS-type message though, like say during a national disaster or other such catastrophic events. Search / rescue would be a lot easier, faster and more successful with a GPS position.
Not at all being sarcastic - it sounds like an idea well worth running with.
Everyone does realise that this part actually is real, right?
As in - there is a stereoscopic chrome download on the page - that does render the pages in 3d when installed?
Obviously the printable 3D glasses are a joke, but I gave it a try with some blue/red glasses I got from a Shrek in 3D dvd I was given a couple of years back, and it works.
It's actually interesting from a development perspective - they could do a lot with it (admittedly it's a gimmick) if they used a (css z-index * polarized displacement) formula to set depth perspective.
Plus my Chrome looks way cool with the 3D glasses icon next to my refresh now.
YC provide the capital they do to cover only the most necessary expenses. For many people there are other ways to raise that amount of cash if you really needed to. (Probably not glamorous ways, but you could likely get there).
It's not exactly apples and oranges, but to focus on the cash kind of misses the point of what YC is about, and what it really offers.
I'd like to believe that Google entering the space is a good thing, and I do, but I believe the focus in the article on the $100m is kind of irrelevant.
How much of that is Google really going to invest at seed stage? And with what ventures?
