Did you see the bald guy with cream on his head is reading "The Lean Startup" at about 25s?


An amazing nod to the tech / HN / startup community.


Ha, no I did not. I'm sure Eric Ries would be proud.

DSC's was so successful when it came out it crashed their servers until the next morning.

I signed up shortly afterward and am on the wait-list until May. Talk about successful marketing!


Where did you see it, on TV? If not, how did they get people (like you) to watch it in the first place?
