I'm curious how you know so much about me. How do you know what I've done? I've already started my own companies bud and sold them, twice. I'm working on my third now after just building a startup with some others called Brabble. Here it is: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/brabble/id570281083?mt=8

To the post below: BKRGB which was an signage platform and ShaiSoft, which sold networking library software. The rest of the details are none of your business sir. I like how you belittle me because my numbers aren't big enough on the Brabble app. I've heard all this type of BS before. Don't listen to me then. Just keep attacking other developers for trying.

BTW, we have a NASCAR running this on June 7th in the Party in the Poconos 400 with our logo on it. Keep an eye out for it. We're just starting.

I'm curious how you know so much about what's happening at Zynga. You haven't supplied any evidence at all to support your speculation that undeserving people are benefitting. I'm not particularly up on the situation either, but it looks to me like the OMGPOP people had a one-hit wonder and timed the sale of it perfectly. Do you have any basis for your accusation that cronyism played a role?

Hey, that's great. I hope Brabble succeeds, and the next one and the one after that. Perhaps, someday, one of your ventures will fail. You can minimize the psychic pain by learning not to equate business failure with bad intentions.

Since you brought it up, which companies are those? Otherwise It just seems like you are making it up to make yourself look better.

By the way, I've also made iOs apps that barely get any ratings.

BKRGB which was a signage platform I built last year with a partner and sold and ShaiSoft, which sold networking library software that I sold in 2002. I'm not rich because of it but I have tried and succeeded.

It's interesting how you belittle me because my numbers aren't big enough on the Brabble app. If I had bigger numbers could I criticize then?

Sorry about that. It was uncalled for. Honestly I thought you were just making stuff up. You've certainly done more than most.
