Of all the “voices” in this cyber-bestial and self-religious “industry” his would have been the first to predict his… own… epic… fail…

… but more to the point, he could illuminate why and how in a clear cool wash of scathing savagery that’s been noticeably lacking around here since uncov closed shop.

Judging by all these fervent comments — and a quick glance at the undies-in-a-bunch-o-meter on the wall — it’s been wayyy lacking. Compare this here… whine…fest…c’mon…people… to the deepcrawling and industry-self-critical comments following any given post of uncov and you might get a clue why uncov was such strong work.

Hello? Ted’s giving us a rare glimpse of how ackshully smart he is. He’s cutting his (and his investors’) losses early, very early, opting instead for the finest things in life.

Like raising a very lucky kid. Like smiting the heads of craving annelid posers.

Welcome back, Ted. Oh, and… in after PressFlip.

All Ted did was sit back and snipe at people who tried. And he did it usually via very nasty personal attacks. He would accurately slice and dice their often ridiculous business plan, but then he would go on and attack the persons themselves. Ted would spew countless amounts of venom at people who, for better or worse, were trying to accomplish something.

FWIW, I think half the stuff that Arrington gets all excited about is crap. But at the end of the day, Mike has a successful business, he has proved he has what it takes to run a company and it seems as if he is turning a profit.

Ted has…well, he has technical smarts for sure. But he hasn’t ever run a successful business, probably never earned any significant amount of money outside of an employer and has shown that he can’t hack the hard part of getting a company started.

So Arrington has accomplished an order of magnitude more than Ted. Doesn’t matter that Ted has a better grasp of math and complex things when it comes to discussing business. Cuz Ted fails at it and Mike wins. Simple as that.

I don’t necessarily disagree with what you’re saying. But I wonder whether guys like you take a stand when Arrington invests in companies that miserably fail.

Ted is small pickins. Impress me whatever, and go after the fat man.

Or is this Matt Marshall at VentureBeat?

No, I’m just one of the guys that did read Uncov because it could be funny, but always thought that Ted had no clue about the reality of running a business. And if you ever disagreed with him on anything then you were shouted down by him and his sycophants as being a fuckhead or his favorite profane word of the day.

So when Ted launched his own business with a very dubious (laughable?) business plan, I was one of those people that thought “Well, at least he will get to experience this for himself.”

And he failed. Miserably. Epic fail as he loved to say. EPIC FAIL. Even the idiotic business plans he lampooned lasted longer than he did. It’s just funny!!!!

The guy criticized stupid startup ideas. And the people running them. And then he starts one and he can’t even stick with it. Dude…that is just priceless.

So, Ted. When’s the next startup? Or when do you go back to bitching about insignificant technical trivialities? I can’t wait! Because now everyone knows that you yourself don’t have what it takes to get an even a crappy idea off the ground!

Are you Bemused’s circlejerk partner?

I think you are.

Bemused hates little kids, which he calls little fuckers.

Creepy.

Oh. That’s right. Anyone who isn’t a complete nerd douche-bag and understands that running a business is a lot harder than sitting around bitching about how small Javascript files are. In other words, 99% of the population already knew this.

Ted – You deserve EPIC FAIL. And you got it. And it brightened my day to hear about it.

Without question, that is the most disturbing comment ever posted on this board. And that’s saying quite bit…

I can only guess Bemused is echoing the very words of his own mother, who at this moment is wondering why she didn’t opt for a back alley abortion.

Bemused: please kill yourself.

If it is a web service: S3 and EC2 or similar can do wonders
If it is a physical product: then running costs will be high

But it IS true you had an advantage others have not…

…you caddied at 1980s hip law firm Wilson Sonsini.

Wilson Sonsini: Where every Old Mustache, Thurston Howell III, and boarding school is fast-tracked for partner.

Everyone, that is, except YOU.

As attorney, you seemed to have championed mediocrity. A worker bee M/A attorney. Not even “Of Counsel.”

That’s OK. It seems as though you have done a swell job identifying successful companies to invest in.
