Are you cynical about their chances in the market just because they seem to be hot in the press and that bugs you? I’m a news junkie and love to watch the Sunday morning talk shows like Meet the Press, This Week with Christiane Amanpour or Shields & Brooks on The News Hour on Fridays.

But succinctly this press places a marker in the ground for your company. But if you’re in a competitive space where you want to get a little more engineering done before the world is ready to start researching you then you may choose to delay.
