It’s been a busy couple of weeks for most tech companies. Whether rationalizing losses or touting profits, every publicly traded company has had to file its papers and forecast its future under the careful scrutiny of demanding investors. Many believe this quarterly cycle of stock market accountability is a good thing, serving to keep businesses hungry, focused, and financially responsible. But I look at the end product, the devices that electronics companies produce and sell, and I can’t help but wonder if it isn’t easier to build better things as a private company.
