Should we even be encouraging founders outside of the Bay Area and NYC from taking on large amounts of VC funding?
I'm hesitant to push middle America founders in this direction... their ecosystems don't have the infrastructure to truly support the companies. Taking on too much VC money is dangerous for them!

This is essentially a Series A, so why call it a "second seed round"? Feels questionable to me.

Quirky - http://www.quirky.com/ - Located in NYC, open to remote
At Quirky, we believe that the best ideas in the world aren't actually in the world -- they're locked in people's heads. We exist to solve that problem.
We are looking for senior developers in many departments. We have three main applications: - Quirky.com Rails / Backbone application - Quirky iOS and Android apps - Wink - Our app-enabled product line launching this fall
Our coolest perk is Quirky Blackout (http://www.quirky.com/blackout) a mandatory, company-wide week vacation at the end of every quarter. Here is where people went last Blackout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07NlWUGFuTM
Email me at [email protected] and I can tell you more about the opportunities available!

Only 106 days until a new Thunderbolt Display! I really hope that it turns into an "Apple TV" announcement.

1. Four of my friends have subscriptions, the only items we have all received were a pair of dark jeans.
2. The fit has been excellent for me. I am a slim build between small and medium so I get shirts in both sizes. They know their brands and how they run.
3. They have a settings page with on/off switches that let you opt in or out of all clothing items. You can even send the stylists pictures of clothing you already have and ask them to find something that matches.

I've been using Bombfell since the summer and absolutely love it. If you have any questions on how it works, I'll try my best to answer them.

They probably have mapped a list of IP address blocks to universities. Pretty clever :)

I am really excited to see what companies like Boundless (http://boundless.com) do to disrupt the college textbook market.
Boundless is taking OER resources and syncing it up to the chapters in existing textbooks, so a student can enter the textbook for the course and get a customized online replacement.

I only use one, three, and five stars, and it determines the "mood" of the song. One star songs are slow and chill, Three star songs are upbeat, and five star songs you'll want to rock out to.

I like the idea of using stars to indicate favorite tracks. iTunes has a 5 star rating system that I use to keep my music organized and I wish Rdio had the same.

We totally would, but a class-action isn't possible under US law. The Supreme Court ruled for AT&T in AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion:
"Under the Federal Arbitration Act, California must enforce arbitration agreements even if the agreement requires that consumer complaints be arbitrated individually (instead of on a class-action basis)." - http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/att-mobility-v-co...
