But I'm still a paranoid lunatic because I don't want to smear my picture all over the web and give my every scrap of data away for the dubious benefits of Facebook or Twitter...

Hahaha... Googles Ok seriously, stop, I can only take so much of this whiplash. That's right up there with not wanting to breath the same air as the "Peasants".

I phrased that poorly, I didn't mean in this case. I'm thinking in general of study after study that shows most people can't tell the difference between red or white wine without the color as a guide. Also, "Wine" t

Powerful, respected people, or just people with enough money to demand to be treated as such, do not like to be made fools of any more than you or I, some even less so. Do they want to believe that they're so thick they've been sw

It would be a powerful argument, except that Thiel's money wasn't as instrumental in killing Gawker as Gawker's own behavior. The same attacks levied against, say, the NYT wouldn't have accomplished anything except losin
