I think that if done right a startup can be a service provider during this tech war.  I've seen it in 96-99.  On the other side of the coin startups have to be careful about not having the titan take their idea and quickly emulate it.  Now more then ever the ability to have weapons is the key for the titans.  As Marc says they are "armored up".  Memo to startups..build those weapons - it's a war time venture.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://furrier.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://furrier.org"&gt;http://furrier.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">John Furrier</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 05 Feb 2008 11:26:23 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
