yes, totally unwatchable on my connection. Youtube can pause it, let it load up and play right through. Your player would probably take 2 hours of on / off and listening to 1second sound at a time to watch this 15 min clip.

I have a different take on incubators. Unless they are about a couple of people trying to get traction for their ideas, they typically go nowhere because then they are essentially a play on real-estate/money/resources. That is just boring.

Some of the better ones are the ones such as Betaworks and in the past it was Idealab in its early days. I think rest of them haven’t been much of an impact. (I might be missing some, so apologies in advance.)
