TOBACCO

Peter assigns an attorney, Ron, to the Pied Piper venture, who accidentally lets slip that Richard's project is one of eight file compression suites that Peter invests in. This impacts Richard, who suddenly panics that he has no sense of where the company should go and what it should be doing. Meanwhile, Big Head is removed from Hooli's copycat compression software project, named Nucleus, because of his complete lack of understanding of what Richard actually did to create Pied Piper, and is not reassigned to anything, and Erlich is mistakenly appointed to the Pied Piper board of directors when Richard gets drunk.

After rejecting Belson's offer and siding with Peter Gregory, Richard is overwhelmed by the amount of work that needs to be done in establishing the business to Gregory's satisfaction. Luckily, Belson's former PA, Jared Dunn, arrives at the incubator, begging Richard to hire him, as he sees huge potential in the Pied Piper idea, and is hired due to his business expertise. However, in evaluating the Pied Piper team, Jared discovers that while Gilfoyle and Dinesh are brilliant coders, Big Head is comparatively mediocre, and Richard is pressured by everyone to fire him as he brings nothing to the table. Richard refuses to do so, but Big Head decides to take a huge raise and promotion at Hooli instead, where work begins on reverse-engineering Pied Piper to create the same product, branded under a different name.

Richard Hendricks is a low-level programmer with futuristic internet giant Hooli. He is often taunted by his more successful work colleagues, and his ideas are dismissed by egotistical entrepreneur Erlich Bachman, who owns the technology development incubator where Richard lives with fellow programmers Nelson "Big Head", Gilfoyle and Dinesh. However when Hooli stumbles upon the music copyright service that Richard is working on, entitled Pied Piper, they discover that hidden within the useless application is the best file compression algorithm in the world, and news spreads quickly. Eventually Richard is caught between a $10 million buyout by Hooli CEO Gavin Belson, and a $200,000 investment from eccentric billionaire Peter Gregory, and must decide whether to give up his program to the highest bidder or to take the investment and create a business out of it himself. After having a panic attack and vomiting on the street, Richard runs into Peter's assistant Monica, who tells him that she believes in him and his idea, and he decides to take the investment and run the business himself.

Because how it's made matters. Droid Does. Droiddoes.com "Verizon Commercial - DROID Droid Manufacturing" It's important when designing and building a phone that you stand for something. I think that comes through in every detail. We chose Kevlar over plastics because the performance. It's lighter weight allows us to make the device stronger, thinner and perform better. It's really the only product of its kind. It is the first mobile device that is a unibody construction of Kevlar. People don't realize it, but they're holding something that's the first ever.
