Fx's Re-paginator extension solves that problem.I was disappointed that the article didn't even mention what some of the business' software/websites were meant to do. I'd have gladly clicked through a couple pages if they told me something about CompanyX's software that wasn't up to snuff.
I loved Webvan. I was surprised that it took the grocery stores so long to get into the market. Now we have Safeway that will do deliveries around here. It's just like Webvan except still in business. Webvan had REALLY HIGH insurance costs (They used Hartford Life, I knew a girl that worked there and dealt with it) and idiots in management that were wrapped up in the bling bling aspect of the Dot Com Days. Idiots.
Hardly an "All-time" list, since it only goes back 10 years or so. Check your history. Viatron blew $140 million on dumb terminals when millions were real dollars in 1970 or so. The CEO then when on the lecture circuit "How to raise VC money" (true!) Big bucks also evaporated in Gene and Carl Amdahl's wafer scale integration fiasco - $250 million late 1970's. How about the 100 or so disk companies that evaporated 1968 to 1990? How about Pen Computing, even Kleiner Perkins bit hard on that one! I gotta admit tho that Webvan and Iridium (have you ever used one?) are primo candidates at the Billion $ level and hard to surpass for dumb stampedes.

Ahh Kozmo. "I've got an idea: Lets pay bike messengers $10/hour to deliver a $5 pint of ice cream. What could go wrong?"

How about the appropriately name Phantom Gaming System from Infinium Labs? I'd have hated to invest in that disappearing act.
