You keep bringing this up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10497114 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10497114 -- do you have some kind of axe to grind here?

  Parent was talking about acquisitions. There is a reason for the "LargeCompanies" HN account name, and the first comments from that account is not difficult to find.

    You said that already. I'm wondering why the name or comments from a specific user is so important to you. Certainly many others on HN have discussed acquisitions (a search by comment or story gives tons of results). The fact that you repeatedly single out a specific user seems a bit "stalkish".

  Surprisingly enough, I left a comment on the parent thread(above) and then lo and behold scrolled down & found YuHoung talking about me (huh... i don't know him, yet a few weeks ago before I was on a TV show (does he work for their production company?) I saw that he left a comment on my blog post linking to my comments here). I don't consider this to be a fiasco... it just goes to show how important having the right connections, people and their money behind you(as an inventor I have struggled making those connections, though have & continue to try). You can go and meet a huge tech company, but don't expect much without having a ton of users/downloads and or people with a network & their money driving your success. Though, even at times with the money and connections similar things happen; there are YC alums with similar stories. More then two years later this meeting was my first of others. I learned a lot from it and later realized our tech didn't work while demoing it because of their corporate firewall. An issue we later ran into with another client, so we were wrong to think it was something on their end and again you won't find any audio sync technology in the Moto X. Well, I'm just going to keep on doing what I love to do and feel I have a knack for. If there are other technologists or biz guys will solid networks out there who'd like to talk shop and potentially work on some projects together (adventure awaits us) I'd love to hear from you (ryan (at) speakerblast.com or @ryanspahn on Twitter).

    When I was talking about the "fiasco", I was thinking of the "LargeCompanies" account name and the NDA that caused it.
