Vinny Lingham 2007

Vinny Lingham Younger Days

Are these pics both of Vinny Lingham as I’ve been asked to believe?

Slightly “wiser” Vinny Lingham on the left, and a “younger” Vinster on the right?

I’m not convinced!

Congrats Comp-sci Fly-guy - it’s not all of us who make page 79 of the July issue of GQ, in a feature article sitting on pages between Mark Shuttleworth (the current open source King after making billions when Thawte was bought out by Verisign) and Brandon Leigh, the CEO of Leaf Wireless (which brings the HTC phones into South Africa)

I LOVE this reply when Vin was asked about the future of Software in South Africa:

The future? The existing software industry, guys like Incredible Connection who’ve got overheads, is going to be destroyed, they’re dead.

ps: Check out Silicon Valley spelling in the GQ article.
