8 Ways to Hack Your Office Lease for Cash

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008 6:00 pm from  GigaOM by Carleen Hawn

I’ve read a lot here about how to hack a funding term sheet, or how to navigate the confusing terms and conditions in the legal contracts startup founders must sign. But what about rent? It’s probably one of your biggest operating costs, and in the current spirit of cost-cutting, there are several ways to squeeze cash out of your commercial real estate agreement, too. I started Rofo to help entrepreneurs do this, but I’ve shared my top “lease agreement hacks” here. They will...

AMD Bridges the Gap Between the PC and TV

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008 3:00 pm from  GigaOM by Stacey Higginbotham

Skype’s Freemium Rate (free/fee) is flat

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008 10:33 am from  Skype Journal by Phil Wolff

Local fluctuations are less interesting than the range. I applied several curve fits to Skype’s freemium ratio but nothing reliable came of it. I don’t imagine it is predictive of anything, merely descriptive.  The wobbliness[1] of Skype’s freemium ratio is, obviously, a function of variations in the supporting data. Eyeballing it, free activity leads fee by a few months. This makes sense if free experiences are preparatory behavior to greater commitment. At a larger cha...
