    We've all seen "this meeting could have been an email"; now get ready for "this VC-backed firm could have been a single arXiv preprint."

    I don't want to be too dismissive of Jev, but building technology in stealth for two years just doesn't make sense to me when the capabilities are so easily replicated. These are strange times, where the incentive to do public research and the incentive to develop in private are both being eroded.

      And yet no one cared about this research until it was productized and communicated well. Multitouch existed before the iPhone.

        Bringing up iphone, I see how Jev pulled an Apple for making claims that their model is a breakthrough in research and 2 years of making like other iPhone features that's been around in other phones.
