This has been the tablet decade that has given rise to new titans of tech

but let us pour the proverbial 40 and take a moment to remember those we have lost over the last decade.

- Ken Olsen the dude who sold digital to another sinking ship for billions before the bubble burst.

- G+

- Jack Tramiel who indirectly taught me to wait patiently and watch a tape whirl around a bit so I could play River Raid.

- Vine.

- that guy who hack all those academic journals for some reason.

- Messaging clients AOL, Yahoo!, MSN Messenger

- the pet rock dude.

- the 3.5mm auxiliary/headphone port on mobile telephone devices.

- google wave.

- Stephen Jobs, who died in 2011.

- those weird flip handheld camcorders.

Let us remember them.

the vine guys quit, built a real-time live low latency mass-synchronized video platform 3 years before anyone else, stumbled dick-first into an incredibly compelling game show property with talent they got off of craigslist, instead of selling out to MLB/Disney+, figured the right move was for one of the founders OD and die then lose your high profile talent because you were too petty and controlling.

honestly it’s the most NYC tech story of the decade.
