Arnold won and Sony makes more entertainment

Hollywood turned into California - Arnold won.

Sony is innovating once again: PSX game & entertainment system will be launched soon in their home market, Japan. The set includes: a satellite TV tuner, DVD recorder, hard drive (vs. VCR) and a PlayStation 2.

University of California is going to release IRR figures from their private equity portfolio of top-notch VCs such as Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sequoia Capital.

Small businesses are growing and hiring by BusinessWeek.

Some VCs have stated that there has not been enough 'good' startups to invest for in the last years. Today I heard that one of them was having their offering as 30% of your equity for €50k investment combined with some pretty nasty liquidation rules. No wonder the startup material has become so 'bad' these days...

Recent FT had a review of Samsung's SPHi-500 that combines Palm with a phone with clever looks. My Palm V is wearing out and this sounds like a good idea.

Moviemercials are coming as well as advergaming. I have been waiting this to happen while trying to help companies to make their first trials in the field.
