I have to disagree with some of the rather (IMO) harsh comments here. He founded a company that designed and produced robotic arm technology and computer assisted surgical tech... (anyone who has worked in that field will tell you how rigorous your design and quality need to be). He then sold the company and the tech. for an absolute shitload of money to a market leader in this field.
The slightly sad part of this (as this article correctly points out) is that the knowledge his engineers gained in the R&D will likely be lost or go to other companies.
There's no shortage of people, particularly in the USA, who are over hyping the next best thing. And it seems no shortage of people willing to jump off the cliff with them. Buyer Beware?
