Yes. You will now have a blank Check for the rest of your life: 1- you won’t need to work again. This lets you work on what you want next. 2- you’re very likely to get funded 2m for the next thing. This sale gives you a big stamp. In short,

Terrible analogy. Star Wars fans everywhere loved it to the tune of 2 billion dollars + and 90%+ on rotten tomatoes. As for the next one, Rogue One, earned over a billion dollars, making it the second largest opening this year. Episode V

This x1000. I can't tell you how much better traveling internationally is with T-Mobile. I always have service and it's useful for maps, trip advisor, foursquare, google, email access, etc. It's not super fast as it's

Totally, but even if it was say a 500k contract, you chalk it up as a loss and don't release it.

Why? This doesn't make logical sense. It's a large company with enough resources. I get that the Mac is a lower priority, but why put your name on anything this bad. It's pretty clear how you should approach this: a) We&#

Not true at all - HuffPo has grown, Adapt.tv is a big win, 5Min was the foundation for video (they're top 3 now), Weblogs Inc setup content division, etc. I'm sure there are some bad deals done, but they've had a great track
