torporification? Whats that, exactly?
Anyway, craig, the position stands: you must be prepared for the worst. Yes, there is some suspicion of you as a character, and yes, you must account for this fact, because it is a stigma of involvement in this community: "Craig, you either love him or hate him", and well .. in both angles, there can be good and bad reasons for loving or hating you, Craig. The press, getting wind of your successes, may well be inclined to sell your story on the basis of its controversies, which do exist. Now there seems to be trouble brewing vis a vis your relationship with Open Pandora GmBH, which is a terrible travesty if half the rumors prove to be true, indeed, since your very survival depends on that relationship with ED being, paramount, squeaky, squeaky clean. Not having paid him for digging you out of disaster is definitely *not* the way to demonstrate business prowess on the order of responsibilities of hundreds of thousands of dollars ..
As for the feedback loop, wherein you instantly castigate anyone with an inkling of criticism of your practices, please be aware: I have supported you since the days you were selling GP32's one by one, I have Pandora and Wiz and GP2X coming out of the drawers because of my willingness to support your ideal of a hardware startup, and well: if you think I'm out to get you, you're not only criminally ignorant, but probably also insane. I was one of the very first actual cash-donor's in line for a lot of your projects so far, and it is a dismal fact for me to have to say "watch out for the negative products of your conduct" because I, in fact, am a positive: I have my Pandoras, love them, use them a lot. Same with my iCP's (x2) and my future iCP2's, no doubt ..
Beware, there *is* a story being written here, Craig. Your authorship is, indeed, the subject.
