clips··on FanDuel founders to receive no cash from sale to Paddy Power Betfair
This is in no way typical (and 10% seems very high but it obviously depends on deal size). There will be certain cases where management carveouts are part of a deal, but it's far from the norm. Executives who join at a later stage also receive the same type of common stock / options that the founders have, and they typically don't receive much of an equity payout in comparison.
clips··on Half a year later, the Apple Watch feels like a stalled platform
I had an iPhone 5, and loved the form factor, but not the battery life. The 6+ can handle a couple of days of use as a smartphone and mobile internet access point. The larger screen is irrelevant to me, but the larger battery matters.

Do you think the purchase of a Watch could have a bearing on iPhone purchase decisions based on the phone's battery life (if we do not see untethering in the near future)?
