I'm not saying they're insolvent. Zynga's Free cash flow was ($14) million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to ($204) million for the second quarter of 2012. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/zynga-rep

And in 24 hours, Candy Crush will announce a $100M raise at an $880M valuation :) The model is fucked. But I agree with you.

Ain't that the truth. Some believe in karma, maybe he doesn't. This will change. Look at Kleiner - investment after investment = flop after flop. Cleantech. Ouya. What's next? Institutional money, pension funds, high-net wort

Sorry for your loss. At least you understand the dynamics of the company you've invested in and took some (big) bets. Loses happen, companies tank. I would probably hold the stock. Someone might buy them out for their talent, or whatev

Furthermore, this is an inherently unsticky kind of niche. Every customer will need to be won over again in 12 months or less, as they tire of that one charming game. Full agree with this statement. If you look at titles like Candy Crush,

Cash runs out, especially with their overhead. Sure, the downsizing helped, but there's no reason they need that kind of staffing. VC's will push for huge hires in the beginning. But the company has been taking for well over a yea

Exactly. They "gave up" on real money gaming. Not happening and won't save them.

Still can't figure out, month after month, how this lousy company is still in business. Some truly mind-blowing stuff here. Zynga folding is now expected. Mattrick will be gone in < 90 days and then the ship will finish it's de

Couldn't agree more. Typical TechCrunch. Nonsense. Should we throw this guy a party or something? People leave companies to go to other companies. Happens all the time, every day.

You can rule out this post as having any sort of relevance or concrete information with regards to this article. There's just so much utter waste in here from saying that VMWare is crap, to the "majority of IT" being HP to cl

Really amazing thing to see. Especially given that Space X is private enterprise with limited resources vs. the traditional government-funded space programs we used to have. The latter part of that statement is a pretty pathetic scenario, a

Idiots, drunks, criminals, people fleeing the police do. Not sure this guy falls into ANY of those categories. Just strange, that's all.

I have a Mercedes that self-parks if enabled. It steers the wheel (so the computer can fully steer the car 1000%) but it doesn't apply brakes or the accelerator. Which are also capable of being fully-controlled by the computer. Mercede

Doubt it. We hear what they want us to hear. Also not sure about the speculation online... Things that fly are more appealing.

Check my post above for the flying by link... It's a transmission connected to the engine. Forgot this car has a small motor. But they're both out there, laying 200 feet out. Strange.
