You gave more info than I gleaned off the site. All I saw were a few banners and a tagline.
Admittedly, I'm using a blackberry, so if it's video content like that, I'm not seeing it. The least the operators of that could have done was offer a transcript, or detect crappy browsers. Oh well.
*edit: I thought about, but failed to mention that a <video> tag would have been most helpful. And, why the downvotes?
- itg 15y agoI don't think a transcript would be able to describe his reaction in the video.
- raganwald 15y agoThere is no transcript to speak of: He's in an interview, the interviewer asks him a few questions, and he simply stares at her without a word. Not even an "I'm not going to answer that." She describes it as a "Death Ray" stare. It's almost as if he's a contestant on a game show where he wins a billion dollars if he can remain silent no matter what someone else says. p.s. You haven't missed anything. It's entertaining, but hardly Hacker News.
- georgemcbay 15y agoThe focus of that page is a video. And while I do agree with you about providing transcripts generally, in this case it wouldn't have really helped you understand what happened as it is the body language that is important in this case, not what he says (or rather doesn't say).
- nostromo 15y agoHere you go (not word for word): Interviewer: "When are you going public?" Groupon CEO: [Silence. Look of death. Nervous shaking. Looks like head might explode.] "Why didn't you sell to Google?" [Same as above + flaring nostrils.] "Why didn't you sell to Yahoo?" [Laughter.]
- nimblegorilla 15y agoThe shaking seemed more like he was trying to keep from smiling than he was nervous.
- jonah 15y agoYeah, this is one of those articles best left until you get to a desktop or at least your Android tablet. ;)
