His Radio on the Internet (shoutcast? winamp?) which I always thought was cool and also a ton of the patents to streaming HD content on the internet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-92185524982529646192017-06-28T14:25:45.808-05:002017-06-28T14:25:45.808-05:00Our political class talking about tech is a lot li...Our political class talking about tech is a lot like having nuns talk about sexagentzerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869005498232108348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-54889644080300426582017-06-28T14:24:24.935-05:002017-06-28T14:24:24.935-05:00Let's see the roi returns and the great succes...Let's see the roi returns and the great success roster with real data, or we can just chant momentum, Google, entrepreneur and fake it til we make it like Slyagentzerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869005498232108348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-32269736697157368282017-06-28T14:21:02.788-05:002017-06-28T14:21:02.788-05:00He and Mark Cuban, had a timing win but couldn'...He and Mark Cuban, had a timing win but couldn't repeat when real pros took overagentzerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869005498232108348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-11643452760727289082017-06-28T14:18:45.675-05:002017-06-28T14:18:45.675-05:009:34 nailed it, only kc is seeking him out9:34 nailed it, only kc is seeking him outagentzerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869005498232108348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-58179658253625874692017-06-28T09:34:05.785-05:002017-06-28T09:34:05.785-05:00Steve Case went to the same private school in Hono...Steve Case went to the same private school in Honolulu as President Obama. Early in his career he worked for Pizza Hut. <br /><br />His biggest move was to sell America Online (AOL) to Time Warner in January 2001 for $164 billion, he got rich and the company fell apart. Because he found a bigger fool to buy America Online before the dot-com blow-up, he's remade himself into an "entrepreneurial expert." But, he hasn't done anything significant since.<br /><br />Married his college girlfriend, had 3 children, divorced after 11 years. Married an AOL executive. He's a billionaire from the AOL sale.<br /><br />Moral of the story: Recognize opportunities, and try to be in the right place at the right time. When technology and the economy are about to leave you behind, sell your business to a fool for a boatload of cash. Retire and do whatever the hell you want.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-58758629081724606932017-06-28T01:08:05.336-05:002017-06-28T01:08:05.336-05:00Buy some condo's at WestportBuy some condo's at WestportAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
