Thanks for the heads up. We'll take a look.

EDIT: would you mind emailing me at jesse (at) dispatch.io with your account details so I can take a closer look?

Thanks for the sentiment! I'm one of the creators of dispatch.io, and I'm ecstatic with the response to our demo. I can't wait for us to clean things up and get dispatch.io out to real users. While the awards were handed out the presenters framed it as there being 4 winners and 2 other honorable mentions, with Gilt-ii also receiving a judge's award with extra distinction. I guess on those terms Gilt-ii won the most, but it doesn't take any of the joy out of it for me. :)

Really enjoyed the last PlusConf, and I'm impressed you put together another one so quickly. Great job Ben!

I've been to NYTM, and the booing for the "money" question seems to be all in good fun. More like an inside joke than a jeer. As andrewjshults said, it seems less about ignoring the the viability of the presenter's business and more about keeping the technology and novel aspects of the product front and center.

When is comes to trademarks, there's really no such thing as an intrinsically generic term. A term can only be generic as it relates to a good or service. So the term "facebook" is generic as it relates to "a reference book or electronic directory made up of individuals' photographs and names," but not necessarily as it relates to other things, like the modern social network. Under the framework we use in the U.S., "facebook" is probably a suggestive mark as it relates to social networks, which means that it deserves instant and relatively strong protection.

I've described the framework here: http://notmylawyer.com/post/248307917/choosing-a-valid-trade...

Ha, I've been using CoolBook on my 15" MacBook Pro for a few weeks and it's been awesome. You can undervolt and underclock to keep the temp down. http://www.coolbook.se/CoolBook.html

Yeah, that's a big issue. You can actually specify a subfolder when you create the request. It's the last field on the page. We probably need to make that more obvious.

Thanks!

We made a FAQ page for AirDropper based on all the feedback everyone provided earlier in the week. (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1613574) You really helped us start to understand which benefits were important to emphasize. We'll definitely be keeping the feedback in mind as we work to improve AirDropper.

The FAQ is available here: http://www.airdropper.com/faq

Thanks everyone!

That's true, there might be opportunities beyond just supplementing Dropbox's service. Thanks!
