Had a wonderful lunch with Phil Wolff and David Beckemeyer at the Silk. I haven’t have so much fun having conversation talking about voip for a while. The industry landscape has changed a lot bu certainly lots of moving. But one take away from lunch is no one has found the “killer” in VoIP yet. […]

Techcrunch40
Techcrunch already has a great coverage of the Techcrunch40 event so it is pointless for me to repeat here.

SOP IV and Flash Forward
I spend the last two days at State of Play IV held at Marina Mandarin. The turnout are mostly academics and not surprising a lot of lawyers. Incidentally, State of Play IV is probably one of the few event that I dont feel embarrass when playing Warcraft at the back of the room. Not especially […]
