Important Stock Tip

I feel it is important that people with blogs who have more then three readers, give back to the community.

Practicing for the day when I’m there, I’d like to offer up an important stock tip: Companies that make popcorn.

Seriously. We are about to embark on the greatest Internet entertainment live action happenings since Pong showed up.

And we all know what goes good with great entertainment: Popcorn.

The desktop is dead (again).

First: Robert Scoble points to it, then Jordan Running over at the Download Squad coughs up his opinion. Sun’s big banana, Jonathan Schwartz pointing out that an entire room of people at a keynote would give up every desktop app vs. the browser. Everybody, completely, 100%, sez see ya later bye to all the desktop apps.

uh huh. Every writer is going to switch to a web application. uh huh. Every photographer is going to switch away from photoshop to a web app. uh huh.  Right.

I’m not going to debate it except to say if you are working on a desktop app that solves a customer problem and they will love it, you, and pay for it, come see me, your friendly VC here in Canada.

We’re open for business and we’ll happily live in the stoneage world of the desktop actually having an application on it that people will pay for. I’m old fashion, I saved my bell bottoms, they are coming back.

So let’s get up into the comfy chairs with the big bag of corn cuz this is going to be an amazing show.

My last project (http://blog.markarteaga.com/VerizonOneContract.aspx) and current project are desktop apps and I don't think the desktop apps are going away. Maybe people will start using mobile devices more but there will always be a use for desktop apps.
