I would argue that the Tate/Zuckerberg piece does *not* look so pathetic in hindsight, given how Facebook has consistently and cynically eroded people's privacy in exchange for profit. In 2010, Zuck could still play the idealist, but it doesn't feel that way in 2013.
Try Unison (it's at www.unison.com. Disclaimer: it's my company)
@aaronklein Afraid I have to agree, and add a point #3: many people don't have the option of OTA reception. My apt in upper Manhattan gets basically no signal, even with a big rabbit ears antenna, so we're stuck with whatever basic cable Time Warner gives us for $30. There have to be several million residents of densely populated cities in the same position -- already a good target market.
@haranyaffe I'd say it's about "who you know" in just about *everywhere* in the world. In China, Russia, in poor countries, in Europe -- everywhere. The idea of full meritocracy is a myth.
Wow. That is all.
@hamishmckenzie I would hate to imagine @dino2012 's crippling pain at a really funny joke.
D'oh!
@entrepreneurSF @achshar I don't think they retained any stake back then. As @paulcarr says, Criterion bought it back for $10m. Not clear how much Conway/Birch chipped in and what % was theirs after the buyback.
Surprised @arrington hasn't thundered into the comments section, after this barely-concealed dig:
"Many entrepreneurs who enjoy big exits go on to style themselves as angel investors or even full-blown VCs. For a portfolio company, watching such an investor renege on his promises, because he’s spending hours each day obsessing over a former love is, at best, frustrating and, at worse, a massive breach of fiduciary duty."
"style themselves" "renege" "breach of duty" -- zing!
I believe that Color is an elaborate practical joke -- it's a spoof of the VC/startup community, the same way 'Scary Movie' spoofs horror films.
No, four. It will also offer KDE.
