Hucksters, Suckers, and the Cue:Cat

Someone in the Know writes: "Now that it's almost completely over for Digital:Convergence, D Magazine (Dallas) unveiled the investments and the suckers surrounding the Cue:Cat and its creator J. Jovan Philyaw. I especially liked the Coca-Cola executive's observation: "... said listening to Philyaw made him feel like his hair was on fire". This was passed around ex-employees and we all got a kick out of it. The company is still alive, apparently, but not doing much anymore."

It must feel pretty bad to be the posterboy for dotcom greed, huh?
On the bright side, we've got the RIAA replacing them on the "Giving Our Customers What They Don't Want And Suing Them When They Reject It" front. Unfortunately, they've got some a stable business model backing the inane business plan for what will likely end up being an infinite amount of time.
