Should Michael Arrington Be Invited Back At LeWeb Next Year?
- zzzmarcus 18y agoYes. Controversy sells tickets.
- ComputerGuru 18y agoNo. (Just to turn this into a poll - here's the second option!)
- ryanwaggoner 18y agoWho cares?
- MoeDrippins 18y agoAgreed, here. The very fact the question was asked at all speaks volumes about the person who asked it.
- Prrometheus 18y agoWell, I'm up-modding, not for the emo main point, but for all the interesting tidbits about European e-businesses. I never knew that Vente-privee existed. I always suspected that there must be successful web businesses and unexploited markets in other parts of the world, but it is hard to learn about them. Which is why I guess the organizer started the conference in the first place.
- ashleyw 18y agoI don't really like him — I just don't know anyone with a bigger ego than his.

- KirinDave 18y agoIt's interesting that Le Muer talks about extreme quality given the atrocious quality of the venue and speakers at LeWeb. I'm sure there is room for some fascinating cultural debate, but hot on the heels of a conference so badly managed that even the friendly-home-team Europeans felt it was a frozen no-internet disaster it seems a bit hollow to then talk about the culture of extreme quality.
- wavesplash 18y agoYou can tell a conference was boring if the most exciting bit of news is meta news about Silicon Valley's drama queen.
- fallentimes 18y agoFlagged. Not HN. Belongs on VW. No offense to raghus, who's submitted some good stuff.

- mattmaroon 18y agoI don't have the slightest clue what this guy is talking about. Guy Savoy has a restaurant in the United States too, and it's just as packed. Americans are clearly able to appreciate it. And the wait there is a joke compared to The French Laundry. Also, Thomas Keller is almost certainly the world's greatest. He has 2 restaurants in Restaurant Magazine's top 50 (numbers 5 and 6).
