I don't know who are you and where you come from, but your instruction level seems really insufficient, at least for what is regarding the web industry. Have you ever heard of serial entrepreneurship? actually this industry WORKS by duplicating sites and changing content according to the niche they are targeting. I do not know exactely of what you are accusing me, from my point of view, you have no clues and you are just defamating me and my business. It is a normal practice for developers to to reuse code and content, and editing it, of course. I did not steal any logo and i do not have anything to hide. I am just a couple of weeks away from being able to ship. I am not threating you, i just say that the word Scammy should not be used without serious proofs. You could disrupt my business do you know ? business could mean life sometimes. Please provide me your full name and contact info by mail at alberto.armandi@gmail.com. Thanks

> I don't know who are you and where you come from,

No, that much is clear.

Boy, I really must have missed out on some education somewhere.

> Have you ever heard of serial entrepreneurship?

Yes, in fact I have. Let me guess, you're one of those ?

> actually this industry WORKS by duplicating sites and changing content according to the niche they are targeting.

Yes, but it does not normally do that by taking other peoples content and repurposing it, it does that by re-using your own content. Taking the specs page from your competitor and modifying it a bit, a logo here and a bunch of web template code somewhere else... It adds up you know.

> I do not know exactely of what you are accusing me,

I really can't help that...

> from my point of view, you have no clues and you are just defamating me and my business.

You and your business ?

No, I am not 'defamating' (what's that?) you, I'm telling you what I think of your business practice and since this is an open forum that's the sort of thing you have to expect.

This being HN I'm keeping it very civil, given the amount of funny vibes you are giving me, and your apparent lack of knowledge about your own product.

> it is a normal practice for developers to to reuse code and content, and editing it,

No, it really isn't. Especially not if that includes copying pages from your competitors websites.

> of course. I did not steal any logo and i do not have anything to hide.

Correction, you've taken lots of stuff, that logo is indeed suspiciously like the one that you use and you have lots to hide but you're not very good at it.

> I am just a couple of weeks away from being able to ship.

Hey, sorry, but not that long ago you wrote that you could ship 500 units in a week. Now we're several weeks off. And is that the version that contains a GSM radio or not ?

> I am not threating you, i just say that the word Scammy should not be used without serious proofs.

This is not a court of law and I think that scammy as an adjective more than applies to the kind of image you portray here.

> You could disrupt my business do you know ?

Possibly. If your business includes taking orders where you claim to be 'shipping product' when in fact you are at a minimum weeks and probably much more away from being able to do so I sincerely hope that I can stop people from sending you money before you are able to ship.

Why, are you going to send me a complimentary free unit :) ?

Let me give you some free advice:

Leave this site alone, the people here in general are not going to fall for your scheme and if they do you are probably biting off more than you can chew.

Get yourself a nice fresh domain, pay a web designer a couple of hundred bucks to make YOUR logo and website for you and don't ask people to send you their hard earned cash before you are ready to ship.

If your businessplan revolves around taking pre-orders pretending to be in the shipping phase but actually still in ramp-up and you are not a large scale manufacturer yet then you are simply asking for trouble.
