Great post aigeezer. I've missed reading your insightful commentary--haven't see you here in a while.
Aw, shucks. Thanks for that. I've been lurking - just never had anything to say.
Jumping on this handy soapbox to beat the generational drum one more time - I see the (young) Oculus team has just sold out to the (young) Facebook team. I am crushed, as I really really wanted to buy an Oculus Rift the moment they came out - not so much now. Anyway, I don't think the youth of the players had anything to do with the transaction - it just makes a useful counter-example to the Buffett theme. Morality, vision, integrity, and the like are not reliable generational attributes, despite any statistically significant patterns. If I were Buffett, I would fight
BTC tooth and nail. If I were Zuckerberg, I would make a play to get Oculus. Ah, but if you or I were Oculus - would we sell out to Facebook? There's the rub!
