Whether the TV (which looks humorously accurate) or real life, there seems to be a way of doing business these days that says "burn loads of money to look good, have lots of staff and have nice offices" ... what budget for tech?
But honestly i am not surprised they failed, the last phone to be successfully launched in the west was the iPhone, since then every successful phone has been launched in Asia... over here, there isn't a peep out of Silent Circle (guess it lived up to it's name).
