Seriously, it's pretty strongly worded. Also: big suprise, some startups fail, and some succeed. Much like Harvard graduates.

In the news of the trademark, it is the name of a programming idea after all. It's also a very good name of a company given that "It takes a single argument, which is a function that isn't recursive. It returns a version of the function which is recursive."

And Apple's a fruit. I don't really see how applying "YCombinator" to a startup accelerator is generic – did anyone else ever mention the phrase in that context before pg?

(Also, the guy who's bizarrely anti-YC runs a site called YC Universe? All sorts of confusing.)
