so a product with good brand and following has not much value without the original founders and teams ? Can't the product be run by a different team and company?

There are many situations where another company could see value in buying a product that the acquirer is no longer interested in maintaining.

There's another quick way. As a Malaysian national, if you have a master's degree or 5 years of work experience. If you can get a US company to employ you and sponsor your green card. You can get it within just a year.

new trend: movie studios speculating on start-up movie rights like VCs on Start-ups

>I usually charge $10,000 per gig, 4-6 hour work

that's $1600/ hour. Are you kidding me ?

its not about /hour charge, its about the work. The work is getting done, it may take 2 hours or 6 hours. People will pay you, if you are really good at some type of development. Have a portfolio to show. Sartups are heavily funded and want to spend money, they will get tax deduction for paying freelancers, so target startups and show your work, you will get paid high bucks, startups want the work done now and are ready to pay the VC money and they know they will be getting results as expected from a guy how charges ridiculously high rate.

Much Thanks Rider.

Finally, the results for ImageToText are impressive. Relative to the other services, ImageToText has appre- ciable accuracy across a remarkable range of languages, including languages where none of the other services had few if any correct solutions (Dutch, Korean, Viet- namese, Greek, Arabic) and even two correct solutions of CAPTCHAs in Klingon. Either ImageToText recruits a truly international workforce, or the workers were able to identify the CAPTCHA construction and learn the correct answers. ImageToText is the most expensive service by a wide margin, but clearly has a dynamic and adaptive labor pool.

The article's stenched with dramatic license to exude noir excitement. In reality, it's just like most Asian cosmopolitans. I've lived there.
