The Synergage.Com Failure: What Went Wrong?
|
Contributed by Dennis on Saturday November 25, @06:45AM
from the can-you-say-beowulf-cluster? dept.
Salon.com takes a look at why Synergage.Com failed and what they probably could have done to survive. They suggest that they fell into the trap of believing that "If you build it, they will come and spend money", which, unlike in movies, doesn't happen in the Real World. Another explanation is that the company employed a bunch of teenagers who learned everything they knew about business from running a lemonade stand when they were younger. I realized as I read this that I never once bought anything from Synergage.Com. Oh well.

from the stuff-to-read dept.

Instead of laying off employees that they don't need, they've increased their workforce by 30% even though in a few months they'll start bouncing payroll checks. According to some, the company is doomed because it had a business plan written on a napkin. So what gives?

from the the-truth-is-out-there dept.
IBM has done it again. According to this Ziff-Davis AnchorDesk article, they've patented new technology that will allow them to produce a 612 gigabyte hard drive the size of a penny. Production isn't expected to begin until 2006, which means you'll need to find some other way to store your porn library for now.
