Exactly. I wish Bobo would have made a fortune with Palm. That might have prevented us from having to endure yet another U2 album and tour.

He even brought in a Jew to save it. Shlomo probably ran off with all the cash.

The company brought in Jon Rubinstein, former head of Apple Inc.'s iPod division, as chairman of the board.

$325 million

He should have used that money to feed niglets and help stop global warming. What a waste.

The guy has done more in his life to help the world that you ever could in your wildest GFY dreams, and YOU call HIM a turd. Classic.

I think you mom is calling you. You better get out of the basement and go eat supper.

Bojangles · 01-27-2008, 01:44 PM

Fuck U2..

01-27-2008, 02:04 PM

Cool, now if only something bad would happen to The Edge.

Fucking weirdo needs to experience some bad karma for making everyone call him The Edge.

I thought it was just a normal stage name, but I've even seen Bono call him The Edge in an interview. Not just Edge, but The Edge.

His mother even calls him The Edge.

fuckingfuck · 01-27-2008, 02:07 PM

I always wondered who the real idito is: Bono or Bob "more nuclear plants" Geldof

He had that nick name for a long time, its because he is so skinny. Also Bono is a rich man so its not like he is sitting in on every deal on his behalf. When I worked for roll royce as a service advisor 25% percent of the time I dealt with law firms that did all bill paying. So like when someone working for Peter Otoole realized they had a rolls royce sitting in a parking garage in nyc for 10 yrs.I dealt with a law firm with the estimates. I doubt Sir Peter knew anything about until after the fact.
So my point is they don't know everything that is happening.

Bono is just a partner in the investment company called Elevation Partners.

He probably had nothing to do with the decision on this investment.

Pornwolf · 01-27-2008, 03:29 PM

Oh, but they also own Forbes and they owned video game maker Bioware/Pandemic studios which they sold for an incredible profit last year.

my comment on this from my Fight the Blog blog:
http://www.xbiz.com/blogs/blog.php?b...id=89377#89377

Bono makes the world smaller with $325m investment

U2's front man Bono made news as the venture capital firm that he is a partner in, invested $325M for 25% stake in Palm Computers (article)

Some have looked at this news with amusement as why would Bono, known for his outspoken fight against hunger and oppression, is investing in a technology company.

My answer is that in third world companies, the mobile phone will be the internet device of choice. Laptops and computers are too big, and are not suitable for rougher environments.

Imagine a low-cost Treo phone that has internet access that will allow people in third world countries to be just as accessible to the outside world as us sitting here in the U.S.

Business can be conducted in third world countries with emails as well as being able to have correspondance, place/check orders etc.

His line of (Red) clothing that is produced in Africa is an example of how local businesses in Africa can create products for global consumption.

I think Bono is on to something if this is his plan for making the world smaller and better through technology.
