This is brilliant! It creates a venue for films that can't achieve wide distribution through theaters without taking away the social aspects of going to a movie and taking away the allure of the big screen. There's definitely potential in

Putting BeyondVC on the top 10 but excluding RedeyeVC is an awful mistake. Kopelman's writing is way more useful.

Well, I thought it was interesting. The "internet" doesn't really go down. Build your business on facebook, and you might just lose 12 hours of revenue because someone else's power went out. I'd rather lose revenue because my own power wen

The sellers of stuff have convinced us (especially americans) that you can't just USE stuff. You need to OWN stuff. Need some specialized tool? Home Depot will sell it to you, but no one will lend it to you, unless it is large and very expe

The real innovation here is going to be through the conversion of things into computers, instead of changes with computers themselves. Instead of a different monitor shape, your stereo, your television, your car, your phone, your home syst

Fred Wilson is basically following the tried and true investment philosophy of Peter Lynch - invest in what you know. He uses twitter. Lots. Why wouldn't he invest?

$240k to be a part of a monumental failure? Please. I'd rather work for IBM.

As I replied on the techcrunch post, here's a quote from the recent film Ratatouille, that I believe sums up my opinion on the numerous haters out there (uncov, jay (living in first life) and the rest) "In many ways, the work of a critic is

Blockbuster is a dinosaur. Big, ugly, moves slow. Look how many years it took them to copy the netflix model. Netflix can still move faster. They need to add value beyond the movies themselves, and also give something more convenient (digi

Most of the things published in 1st tier conferences are useless outside of academia. In my current field (computer graphics) this is glaringly obvious.

I was referring to the experience as a reader - emailed interviews and the stories that result from them are usually boring and formulaic, and don't differ much from a stock press release.

No ad-lib, too much opportunity for PR rewrites, spin, etc. People are much more interesting in a conversation. Yes, IM is much better.

Email interviews are boring, and worthless. Sorry folks, but if you don't want to be misrepresented, do a better job interviewing. What you THINK you said, and what you said are very different.

Ok. I hate to reply to this way off topic post, but I'm a coffee geek, so I need to. Peets is crap. It's fresh, but it's way over-roasted - nearly burned. And 10 days in the store (especially because they store them in open air) is still w

Maybe. Or this was their last chance to get a boatload of pre-IPO priced shares, fully vested... Maybe this acquisition is another sign of a looming IPO filing.

Actually, I thought this was a hilarious article. I love maddox. I check his site for updates constantly. I just didn't think that this was particularly appropriate for this particular forum, that's all.

No but there are moderators who can kill stories.
