So NTEK was able to hire Alan D Stone to its board of directors. It's been argued here about its revalence. A little bit of DD suggests that Mr. Stone was the former CEO of Nintendo of America. What nobody failed to relize is where Nintendo was formerly located. Redmond, Washington.
Does that sound familiar at all to anybody? Here's a clue!
Redmond, WA is best known as the home of Microsoft (for which Redmond has become a metonym) and Nintendo of America.
David Foley also tweeted not long ago,
@davidrfoley: working on a Comcast demo on NanoFlix, exciting times. Reminds me of my trip to Paul Allen's house to brainstorm over the future of Cable
Bill gates partner was no other than the aforementioned Paul Allen. Is it the same person, tough to say with little more information than just a tweet. But if it is the same person, Allen left Microsoft BOD in 2000 after a fight with Cancer but still owns over 138 million shares, a pretty good chunk. His current dealings with Microsoft is a Sr Technical adviser role. Also he is a huge donator to Washington State University, Seattle.
Does that sound familiar, well it should because no other than Alan D. Stone is a graduate of their masters program with a MBA in finance & economics.
But wait there is more coincidences with Paul Allen. His current investment firm Vulcan Inc own a TV channel that was called Tech TV. Tech TV was later sold to Comcast and merged with G4. A very well known columnist was a regular on Tech TV and his name is John Dvorak. He is also a graduate of UC Berkely, where again Alan Stone is also a graduate. Dvorak also has major connections in Silicon Valley & also the hot bed of Seattle Washington. Don't believe me, look it up.
So the connection with NTEK & John Dvorak is what. Well NTEK is the producer of his bi-weekly TV show of No Adgena with John Dvorak & Adam Curry.
Is all this just a large coincidence. Maybe. But I feel like its a bread crumb trail. You just have to put the pieces together and see where it leads. Or maybe I'm just crazy and have too much time on my hands. As it is we got 32 inches of snow and its been almost impossible to leave my home cause all the roads are closed and mostly unplowed.
