The Walking Dead of Silicon Valley
Frisky070802 writes "CNN has a column about a liquidator who refers to thousands of Silicon Valley startups as the walking dead.

"There's still another 6,500 to 7,500 companies out there who are among the walking dead."'"

From the article:" "There's still another 6,500 to 7,500 companies out there who are among the walking dead."....
Last I heard SCO had sent only about a 1,000 letters or so; wiat a minute, does it mean SCO has 7,000 sister concerns or alibis??

Something like 70% of all new businesses fail within their first five years.
But 84.7% of people don't know what they're talking about, and make up statistics.
The repo business is in a golden age, one that will never end! So when is this guy's IPO coming out?
