                DAC'13 Troublemaker's Panel in Austin, TX

     Dean Drako of IC Manage discusses why should anyone care what his
     company does, GDP data management needed for IP-based designs,
     dependencies, file-based vs. object-based sysyems, it encapsulates
     the entire state of your design, testbenches, changes, bugs,
     fixes, docs, history, who did what, runs 10X faster than rivals.

     Also discussed ICM Views which quickly populates a designer's EDA
     tool workspace in ~1 sec with what he needs first -- sort of like
     how Google maps brings up the local maps ASAP but for EDA tools.

          Dean: "It's like magic."
         Hogan: "Not like Apple maps."
          Dean: "Aha!  That's why you were late for this panel!!!"

   !!!     "It's not a BUG,
  /o o\  /  it's a FEATURE!"
