arrington

If Asus actually did have legal action in the pipeline Arrington would be an idiot to talk about it.

Arrington's blogged thoughts refer to FG's poor financial position, but gloss over the fact that its investors have $10m on hand (which appears to be about 4x what Arrington had lined up).

Prediction: it won't go to trial, Fusion Garage will settle with Arrington for $1.5-2.5m and both sides will declare victory.

This may be true, but Arrington does push himself as a journalist, not as someone writing about his own venture.

It is unclear from the emails (which are confusingly presented in reverse chronological order) what position, if any Arrington & co.

Endorsement by TechCrunch and I think specifically by michael arrington told me I could use and adopt Mint.

The backlash is understandable, considering how people in the valley worship arrington and TC's influence, but after arrington's post yesterday, I really fail to see what's wrong with the device other then the fact that arrington is whining about it.

First, if Arrington can produce the physical prototype that TC developed on its own, that would be a big deal to me.

Point being, Arrington is not a journalist in any stretch of imagination.

Rathakrishnan on Monday refuted Arrington story and introduced JooJoo.

I think Michael Arrington should come clean in any story written on Techcrunch where a competing company has this level of connection with his blog.

Well I think Arrington is actually profiting from increased traffic.

They will learn how much Arrington really did do for the "Crunchpad".

Arrington contributed "blueprints" of the device?

"Michael Arrington reportedly to launch “CrunchFund” to invest in startups" The rumours turned out to be true.

So yes, Arrington is out to destroy them, and he wants to send a message saying more or less, "Don't fuck with me." And he's smart enough to know that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

In Arrington's view, the device is partly his because he had the original idea.

The truth is probably that, had they not squandered their relationship with Arrington, and TC had announced, joyously, that pre-orders were available today.

Arrington and fellow investors did not want to buy a company with half a million in outstanding debt.
