What most compnays and inventors need to realize is that 90% of the dream
app is already done. It doesnt take a phd in wahteverology to realize
that the last 20 years or so have already produced, tested, and documented
large chucks of what everyone is falling over themselves to reinvent.
But since its a brand eat brand world I guese we are stuck with the
mentality of "its not how the jeans are made its whos name is on it".
Which means advertisment over substence, hype over acomplishment, and
glitter over goal.
Of course since that is alaso been prodcued,tested and documented to work
on the masses for the last 40 years it seems only natural everything else
the masses get INto will go the same way.
Which way to the next frontiere.

that we blame you. You tried to walk on the trail we were carving,
Now you know that we framed you." The Punk Meets The Godfather P
