It gave casual fans someone to root for and they were easy to remember.<BR/><BR/>In EDA, having a big gorilla is bad. The startup costs are too high for me to fund it myself and, unless I already HAVE the cutting edge technology,* a VC won't fund it because there's no exit strategy beyond selling to Cadence, etc.<BR/><BR/>And they just won't do that much in the near future. If I were Fister walking into Cadence and seeing 5 simulators, I'd want to know how to get that number down and I'd shoot the person who came to me and wanted to add another one.<BR/><BR/>EDA is unsexy because you don't need a whole group to distill info from 5 companies into a market analysis. It isn't doing anything exciting enough to merit the attention.<BR/><BR/><BR/>*However, should you have cutting edge technology and can afford to starve while it ramps up, let's talk about that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12511368.post-1161927425803016852006-10-26T22:37:00.000-07:002006-10-26T22:37:00.000-07:00http://videos.dac.com/43rd/costello/costello256.wm...http://videos.dac.com/43rd/costello/costello256.wmv<BR/><BR/>Costello is now CEO of Orb networks - in the media and streaming industry.

Do you know if it's available online?<BR/><BR/>My general impression is that Joe is a super-charismatic guy, but he hasn't kept up with EDA since he left the industry.<BR/>I think he's involved in the Mechancial CAD industry now.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635360760744356704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12511368.post-1161775232877677442006-10-25T04:20:00.000-07:002006-10-25T04:20:00.000-07:00Did you see Joe Costello's keynote at Dac'06 - 'lo...Did you see Joe Costello's keynote at Dac'06 - 'look where the fishies are ...'<BR/><BR/>I still cant believe that they let him do that keynote at DAC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12511368.post-1161742192160580542006-10-24T19:09:00.000-07:002006-10-24T19:09:00.000-07:00Yes, that's sad.I guess they may start a small con...Yes, that's sad.<BR/>I guess they may start a small consulting firm, as Gabe hinted.德漂理财https://www.blogger.com/profile/15610707537902254226noreply@blogger.com
