Her last (I don't mean latest ) appearance didn't seem to get much publicity.

I can't do it, I just can't. The TED talk was about the same length and by half way I was seriously contemplating shoving a hot soldering iron in my ear.

Just getting around to watching it now. It's revealing that the very first thing out of her mouth is to make an excuse that her product won't ship. Not "thank you" to the host, not "pleased to be here", but "uh, about that shipping date..."
214 views now, 200 of those are from here I suspect.

Well done the IEEE, way to do social media.
I couldn't make it "umm...uhh...umm...well....umm..." two minutes ....
Why are you so nervous chatting in front of a few EE's, Meredith?

Because your warm body creates an updraft of air currents and the smoke is drawn in to the lower pressure region between the iron and your body/face.

I noticed that... every other sound out of her mouth is ummm and uhhh and errr... painful to listen to.
Dave had a post above about the initial VC guy. It was also painful to read and really highlights that some people just get lucky and really don't have much intelligence at all. Or maybe the guy is a lot smarter and just a lot more unethical than I am presuming. He says uBeam works but glosses over the singular huge issue - efficiency - by saying it would be impossible to refute every point. Then says he will be the first investor in Perry's next business. I would like to think he just doesn't want to believe his money is gone... but maybe they're actively looking for additional capital or to sell whatever is left so they can recoup as much of their $$ as possible, and they are slathering as much lipstick on this pig as possible.

I interpret such statements from VCs as, "I am absolutely confident that I do not want to be sued by all those I fleeced in this donnybrook."

Yep, because it wasn't his money, it was his investors money.

It says he put a bunch of money in himself.
