PG on the cover of Forbes

"Y Combinator--a computer term for a program that runs other programs"<p>Heh... completely wrong, but I suppose it's the best you can expect a non-techie/math nerd readership to get. Heck, it's probably close to the most you can expect the average programmer to get.<p>EDIT: And another one...<p>"Graham met Morris, an authority on the Unix computer language"

Here is the actual cover:<p><a href="http://imgur.com/gOyI9.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/gOyI9.jpg</a>

Slipping a link into the headline to (presumably) your startup, even if it is inside a "// not related" comment, is pretty tacky. You might even call it spam.<p>Update: Thanks for removing the link.

I think this is a repeat of <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1831471" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1831471</a>

I've got to imagine any photographer trying for a YC photo would look at the Inc cover which reprised The Last Supper and just despair.

And here was I expecting a typically insightful commentary by PG regarding the front page of a business journal.

♫ I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine, smiling next to Oprah and Paul Graham. ♫ Heh.<p>Congratulations, pg. If nothing else, being on the cover of Forbes must put a smile on your face.

Y-Combinator has something in common with the Moore Law: self-fulfilling prophecy.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore_Law" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore_Law</a><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-fulfilling_prophecy" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-fulfilling_prophecy</a>

i thought the virtual absence of women was interesting. Jessica Mah got two paragraphs near the end, Demi Moore a passing mention, and Jessica Livingston merited two sentences. she co-founded YC and is married to Paul, and they couldn't even ask her for a quote?<p>other than that it was guys, guys, guys. <a href="http://bit.ly/ycturgor2" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/ycturgor2</a> has more.

That cover is awesome. Congrats pg!

This brought a smile to my face :)
