Unfortunately, this is not the first time that this type of thing has happened with Kevin Rose. I have had similar things happen to my work with Kevin Rose and got NO MENTION whatsoever. I have also PERSONALLY seen this happen to at least 2 other people that I know very well and they also got no recognition. And all of us have taken the high road and simply been happy for the recognition but the high road is starting to get crowded.

If it were a one-time incident, then it would be another thing entirely. Unfortunately, he is consistant in his lack of acknowledgement. But if you insist I look at the bright side, I guess I should give him points for consistancy. :-/
