Are we to decide between technological breakthrough and a GameStop remake?
The majority here seems to vote for "GameStop revisited". Not that I blame them. The "honest" road has not lead us anywhere yet. So now the cheers are for "forgetwhatwemaybeorhavejustgetuspumpednomatterhow".
Having been invested for some 10 years I feel tempted by this, as I am not getting any younger. Somehow I still refuse, however. Naiv as I might be, I would still prefer the products to be convincing, not the shouters and pumpers. We had been to this before. Peter C. and his most faithful follower(s), trying to cash in on following him and now still acting as hub leader(s), where did the pump get us?
With all due respect to Adrian et al, we've "been there, done it" and it didn't work out. Being an old sucker I still believe the proof of the pudding is in the eating. And, yes, I spent long yers in marketing, in old fashioned days though. May be the brave new world is so stupid, ah so different,I meant to say, that if Apple & Cisco don't elevate the sp, any Brijbassi will do. (Sorry, Adrian, nothing personal - I guess you get it before most others do).
There must be a balance between achievements and being vocal about it. One w/o the other won't do the trick. I assume we have some people on board knowing this. Suresh, Tom, Adrian...
Who are we to teach them better?
Good luck to all of the players and us!
