“If you want to set off and go develop some grand new thing, you don’t need millions of dollars of capitalization. You need enough pizza and Diet Coke to stick in your refrigerator, a cheap PC to work on and the dedication to go through with it.

That's true if you're a developer/designer/info architect/application architect/sys admin and everything but if you're just someone who has the money you need a lot of patience and don't give cheap salary to your developers and designers because otherwise your grand dream will remain only in your dreams :)

I disagree about the Coke and Pizza. To localize this statement to the Arab world, I would like to change it to "You need enough beans and tea, or Kabsa and meat" ... Just Kidding :)

Yahh, seriously, I don't understand why people need lots of cash to create startups in the technology sector (especially.. the internet) !
