This was the topic at the NVCA panel discussion I participated today as a budding NEVCA board member (NEVCA: New England Venture Capital Association not to be confused with the NVCA: National Venture Capital Association). Ever since Battery Ventures turned down Facebook and the...

Unlike @bfeld - I gave up my Android
