Quote Of The Week
Oh, and 'This transition from what basically was an R&D phase into a commercialization phase has required building out infrastructure and product development that has increased our operating expenses significantly over the last two years' is the language of a biopharmaceutical company that has a drug in late-stage trials but nothing on the market yet, not the language of a comic publisher." -- my friend Gil, on Platinum Studios
