No way Steve or Bridget give up custody of the child to the other. They were married, if not legally then common law, and my guess is that they are still together.

They never married and are no longer together. The child they had together was born in 2000. The Bridget Stabile working in Menlo Park is the one who was involved with Steve Tarin.

Aside from the money owed to Delaware, Mr. Tarin owes huge amounts of accrued and unpaid vacation to all of the employees, who were never even properly "laid off" so to speak. There are at least 20 decisions against the company in the state of CA. I personally have one worth in the five digits at the time of issue, and has grown daily. Trust me, he’s in hiding.

While I have little to contribute to the technical side, I highly doubt as if any work has been done to advance this technology. Upon research of the history of this company, in an effort to find any sort of confirmation of the technical validity of Required Technologies, I have found that not only is the company no longer incorporated in either Delaware or California, it also is indebt taxes in Delaware. Yes, in debt to the extent that any sort of revitalization would only be possible if the patents were completed turned over to someone else from Stephen Tarin. I read at one point the Stephen Tarin had his technology stolen and was fighting to keep it, and that “investors shouldn’t run businesses.” Sometimes the creator should not be the CEO. My understanding is that Mr. Tarin isn’t in hiding; he is down on his luck. Perhaps if Tarin hadn’t been so controlling of this potential technology it would have been fully developed, instead of being a theory in an appendix that’s nearly ignored in an out of date textbook.

It's my contention that if a technology deserves market success, it has a good chance of getting it. Eric seems to find this counter-intuitive, or at least contrary to experience. So let me clarify by saying that this only applies to technologies and products that are or can straightforwardly be made to be SUFFICIENTLY COMPLETE, and that I mean this in the Geoffrey Moore/Crossing the Chasm sense of "whole product". (Yeah, yeah, I know Moore didn't innovate the "whole product" idea -- but unless you recall who actually DID, please don't object to my giving him credit for interpreting and popularizing it.)

Sometimes I need a good thwack with the cluebat. And I really appreciate your main point. While I don't expect the folks who've been touting RT to publicly eat crow, I hope they'll at least refrain from making new spoutings on the subject. As for Fabian feeling embarrassed -- I guess for that to happen he'd first have to believe that any of his failures or errors were, at least partially, his fault. And not just in the sense that he didn't realize how awful people were, or the industry was, or universities were, or the United States was, or whatever ... CAM Nathan,

Embarrassing Fabian would be more interesting, but would be much harder, for obvious reasons in no way related to his overarching intelligence. Curt,
