I believe that Arrington uncovered that the 'super angels' were colluding to further their interests, and it has changed my opinion of these super angels.

With source code available attackers are white-box testing as opposed to black-box testing. Black-boxing is where you throw known arguments at a system and measure the responses, and hence deducing what the system is doing White-box testing

He might want to adjust the grammer of the title so that it is past-tense Or he could leave it and I am sure a screenshot of it will pop during a flame war about rails :) (or somebody will respond 'Try PHP, David')

I think it was established yesterday on Quora that McClure was actually Arrington's source on where the meeting took place, and judging by the language in Arrington's post - that same source was also one of his post-meeting sources, so it m

"get together in a bar but omit one of the regulars" MA isn't an angel investor and isn't one of the regulars. My guess is that when they saw him they knew that he would report anything he sees/hears - hence their silence.

This. I am sick of it coming up on here and on reddit. A lot of people seem to have made their judgements and moved on, but when the report came out that last.fm actually did leak data, these same assholes ignored it (and it still comes u

I didn't mean to come across as outraged or to make accusations - it was a genuine observation. When I raised a note I set the price, but it was through talking to the investors. That was a while ago though. I think the core of what Arringt

Here is something to consider. You have said yourself that as an angel you prefer to follow deals, rather than set the terms. A lot of angel investors are like that. The problem is that the guys who lead the rounds and set the terms are fix

It is a process of journalism. He is using the story as leverage to fill in the remainder of the story. See how the Scamville story evolved. I think Arrington has shown time and again that he places the story and public interest above all e

You go from lawsuit to settlement in a punctuation mark where in reality it is months/years and millions of dollars. Never give a person wealthier than you a reason to sue you - regardless of if you are wrong or right.

Mike tends to push posts out as he develops the story (eg. the Scamville saga) so expect this to be the first of many posts. When he picks up a story like this, watch out - Scamville didn't end until Offerpal lost their CEO, Zynga apologize
