Great video, good insights from some of the veterans of the startup and venture world. For someone oceans away its great to still get the information and the advice that goes around in silicon valley.

About the video, i sometimes got the feeling that Micheal was cutting Paul of at times, at times it was annoying when paul was about to say something related to earlier stage startups and micheal would just cut it off.

When this happens its sometimes interesting to see the facial expressions of the person getting cut off but the quality of the video wasnt good enough to make out anything noticable =P that or paul did a good job of hiding it :)

Best nugget from the video for me was Paul's opinion on the iPhone being the next big platform because hackers are building apps for the iPhone (vs. the Blackberry or Palm pre, which are almost non-existent among hackers).

I thought it was an interesting point also...and then I thought about it more. Michael talked about how a lot the companies they are investing in aren't based in the United States. Are iPhones as popular among hackers in other countries?

Paul and Michael are always worth hearing from; Guy, not so much.

Guy is merely asking the questions.

The person asking the questions helps drive the direction of the conversation. With these two guys, you would hope the they are asked good questions in order to help discover key points that otherwise would not be found.

(Not saying that Guy did a bad job...still watching it.)

I think he's a good moderator.

Sigh. I'm interested but can't possibly divert over an hour of screentime for it. An MP3 or ipod-video download would be appreciated.

the video is on blip.tv, you can download it there.

Why do they not allow fast forwarding? I want to get back to the 20 minutes mark but I cannot. Not worth watching that 20 minutes over again.

If you go to the building43.com page the video is on the top and it allows you to fast forward. http://www.building43.com/
