DSL is a outdated technology that only survives in smaller regions without access to real bandwidth. Most DSL implementations realize the limitation within a short time period and put contingency plans in place. Just axe anyone who has ever worked with DSL.

Guys, give TRN a break, this is his last chance to actually do something note worthy before retirement. I think even he realizes his current standing affords him but a small footnote in the index of worthwhile executives since he's never done anything on a grand scale. A couple of millions here and there puts him on the same scale as a real estate dealer in CA during the housing boom.

So let the guy near retirement have one more go, I think most who know him can guess what the end result will be but he needs a last chance for self aggrandizing and more importantly a last creative effort at making up barrage of excuses to follow if Tonbo fails or if he is kicked out again before Tonbo can succeeds.

DSL has generally been very slow to produce and does not provide us with significant enough bandwidth to accomplish our G's & O's. DSL has generally been very limiting for us and I would not recommend using it at all. As a matter of fact, we placed DSL on the industry's DNH list for this very reason.

Wow. This a really awesome web site. I like visit it every daily for read good informations about science industry. I do not understand all of it, but I learning English. Is DSL internet access fast for you?

Easy to say what you want when you don't have to confront the person you are slandering, isn't it? Perhaps you will nut up at some point and leave your name chicken sh!t.

These sarcastic attaboy postings are some sicko's idea of a joke.
Just shut the f** up about this worthless jack-wad.

To anyone new to this thread; half the posting here are lies about a sociopathic moron and the other half are the truth about a sociopathic moron.

TRN already made DSL rich three times over and over and over.
Without TRN, DSL would be nowhere. A total zero.

All the other players in this non-creative copy-cat business have devolved into sleepy, complacent, and arrogant laziness factories. TRN led IVGN to greatness with the best acquisitions in life sciences research and created an exit strategy for the worthless tools at Ebioscience; they should all be kissing his bald porcelain behiind for making them rich, not spewing vile-speak about an honest endeavor to create some competitive spirit in a dying industry, which we all know will be controlled by the Chinese IP rip-off artists within 5 years. I'm glad whitie is stepping up and showing some game. All the others mentioned here are cop-outs or sell-outs.

Personally, I am looking forward to watching this company grow and become a real player in the biotech space - it's about time someone offers a real alternative to over inflated pricing and crappy support. Good for TRN and his team. I think ebio, biolegend and even bd has real concerns about this little start up.

DSL, heads up. You're about to lose your job. Again.

"C" players may or may not be insightful for the clueless weirdos who use this site for their latest trading tips, but it has the unfortunate distinction of being true.

Despite the recent red herrings to the contrary, it's clear most of these posts are from current or post-mortem worthless yes-men from Affy/Ebio. Affy has no interest in seeing the spawn of demon-seed succeed in his little copy-cat play. TN is no GL.

For anyone who really knows any of the history there, "C player" is fairly accurate as an assessment of the management staffing decisions. Most of the laughably inept "Leadership Team" had no operational experience; the one thing they had in common was they had all recently purchased on-line business and management certification to fill out their resumes. They were the cheapest and most lemming-like "talent" available.

Their cardboard signs all read:
"On-line degree/no experience/will work for overbearing, abusive d-wad; no questions asked"

From the Phoenix, arose the As$es.......

Before they left this mortal coil, they were together as one Phoenix.

TRN has cancer as an exit strategy? I'm guessing it's related to his bowels. He could never let go of anything.

Uhmm, it actually is insightful if you look at the people in charge of EBio pre and post the untimely departure of its founder due to cancer and TRN taking over as a result. To quote Claussewitz "everything about strategy is simple, but that does not make it easy" much like you're precious advice on buying and selling.

TRN is a C player that b!tch slaps anyone that doesnt kiss his @ss

Again, really, really insightful. "A" players vs "C" players. Should we "buy" low and "sell" high?

EBio was successful long before TRN leased a large building and made some flashy signs. Folks like him simply cannot create what the founders of companies like EBio have made. Give him a lot of cash and an organization with tremendous potential and he'll do an O.K job of architecting an exit. If he wants to join the ranks of the few who have actually created a company from scratch and created wealth he first has to learn how to hire A players. The people who he surrounded himself at EBio were C players at best.

Let us do a spell-check and launch some products before you get all super-critical. Stop spamming.

Great leaders like trn are known for whipping their employees into submission. Follow or be crushed

"Genious"...?

Really?

TRN is a genious when it come to creating value for companies and one either gets it and he take you along,

Thanks Mom.

Tonbo is TRN's newco. He started it afer leaving MP Biomedicals. He was also the for$er CEO and mastermind behind eBioscience's growth and success. Why things are so personal on this site? TRN is a genious when it come to creating value for companies and one either gets it and he take you along, or one does not "get it" in which case he will leave you behind. He's made millions for his executive teams and has of course let a lot of underperformers go. So, he's a divisive guy if you can't perform. Everyone knows there are but a few people that have crossed him and they tend to post on this site. People with initials like DSL, DS, LC, and one or two others. Basically a very few people who choose to say stupid things that are inwarranted. Easy to do when you don't have to let anybody know who is responsible for saying it. He has made millions himself, lot for employyees and shareholders and a few well know losers like to drag him through the dirt. I doubt if he's actually ever been to this site it's pretty trashy.

Likely the other way around, numbnuts.

Why is this string filled with nothing but the obvious rants of not more than 3 people? Is there any information on the company? What produscts they make, what it's like to work there, etc?

"Could someone fill in those of us who just heard about Tonbo?

I thought TRN was at MP after handling eBio's sale to Affy. Or is it another TRN?"

It's the same guy. The MP founder must've had a moment of insanity. He only lasted a couple months though.

Wow....tthat's insightful. Someone, afterall needs to watch you clean the restrooms.

I wouldn't call watching other people doing the real work, "running the company"

Gosh you guys, I would spend more time running the company but I have to spend so much time on this great site with all of you trying to stop terrible rumors. Please, let me get back to work so I can prove myself to you.

Why would rnd guy leave. Tonbo just started building products

I was in the due diligence team for Affymetrix.

That's probably something you'll want to avoid mentioning during your next job interview...

Who left tonbo?

The only guy on staff with any real science background

who left tonbo

Are you saying that Affy is in a position to acquire Tonbo?
It sounds as if this is just what Affy needs to halt its rapid decline in value. You're saying Tonbo can turn Affy around just in time?

No TRN didn't last 4 months at MP. Not sure what happened.

At eBio the board gave him the heave-ho for plying "favorite" interns with preferential treatment. Amazing how these guys keep getting plum executive positions after destroying companies.

Could someone fill in those of us who just heard about Tonbo?

I thought TRN was at MP after handling eBio's sale to Affy. Or is it another TRN?

See, starting a company will quickly reveal the kind of leader one is. I think being ethically bankrupt is proving to be increasingly less profitable for the class of so called leaders like TRN who lack a moral compass. But it's still too soon to tell. Let's give him a couple of years in all fairness to see how he does.

Guess what? The only guy on staff with any real science background has already quit.

That was a quick demise of a bad, uncreative, ethically-bankrupt idea, poorly executed.

It's hard to blame everyone else for things that go wrong when you're the founder. You hire and you fire so if Tonbo has problems TRN can no longer blame the incompetence of his crew and hide behind the excuses.

yes, Affy sure has done a great job so far. Heehee. what? are you kidding us. Affy management will be adopting TRNs processes.

Now that eBio is under Affy management, Tonbo doesn't have a chance.

Indeed, TRN finally has something he can truly be accountable for. He certainly has the experience to start and run a real venture now and in next 3-5 years all can whiteness the outcome, good or bad.

You fools seem to think every great leader has to be a founder. TRN is both. He has started companies and run large companies. People at the top don't have to put up with people like us. Do you really believe TRN has ever visited this crappy site? C'mon.

Yes, TRN does think very highly of himself. Until now he has never done any thing himself but rather cought the wave of success created by others who founded companies like EBio. We will see what he can actually produce in his first real venture. I tend to believe the hollowest drum makes the loudest noise and TRN certainly impresses himself and makes a lot of noise.

Agreed. But interesting isn't it, that all the eBioscience "expertiese" has followed TRN to Tonbo...............

public domain with no IP.................you do the math. Besides, it's only the researcher that benefits in the end. More like Robinhood than thieves themselves.....if it's true.

It's going to be hard keeping up with eBioscience expertise and fast growing portfolio. Especially in the ASR world. But competition never hurt anybody so good luck to you Tonbo!

Tonbo has a bright future. TRN fries his food in olive or sunflower oil which is good for the heart.

Good for him!

I checked all the handicapped stalls. All filled with rickshaws with biolegend license plates. Waiting to take TRN to dinner.
