Well, I'm saddened. Once the MBAs, lawyers, and accountants get ahold of Slim, things will change.
Good bye hackable hardware - someone might zap themselves and sue. Good bye over-engineered/quality components - If we change to this DAC and reduce the cost by $X while reducing the retail price by $Y, research shows we'll reach Z more customers and make MORE MONEY!!! (And legally, we MUST do that for the shareholders.) Good bye close correspondence with the top guys - EVERYTHING has to go through legal, or we might violate some SEC rule about insider info. Sorry, but a publicly traded company is a beast unto itself. The rules change. True, the Slim guys will probably make a fortune. And they'll probably be able to release some cool new products that they couldn't pull off before. But the soul will be gone. Please feel free to prove me wrong. - Jasen. -- jasenj1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jasenj1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
