I meant that it's likely to challenge some presumption held by nearly every reader. I enjoy honest analysis when it says: Side A is wrong and Side B is wrong, the answer lies elsewhere. Everyone is angry at first because their sacred cow ha

I had no idea. Very cool. I think that if I were a sea creature I might like a new home. But this won't be so funny when shipping-container sized crabs ascend onto L.A.

I suggest you grab a beer. First things first. After that, maybe see if you can get some people signed up for launch notices. Maybe see if you can get some female early adopters. That strikes me as the biggest dating-site problem. Good luck

Interesting discussion. I like it because it's sure to piss off everyone.

The Roaring Twenties weren't roaring because of the Super Rich. They were roaring for the same reason 2006 was: Your idiot friend could double his cash in just a few days of thoughtless investing. This is not, of course, to defend wealth di

Quit your bitching JBJ! Instead of wearing dirty, threadbare headphones in order to "get lost" in music chosen solely on the basis of van-transposed cover art, now I can decide that I want an album from an obscure Norwegian band with 27 fan

So, you're saying, if a company is successful at creating and marketing its product and I don't like the price I can steal it?

In the context of going out to dinner not buying is the same as "stealing". I think we can do this all day.

Three quick things off the top of my head: First and most important, you should probably take this post down right now. Whether or not you have a confidentiality agreement of any sort with this company, saying bad things about an "anonymous

The Charleston case is just sad. That lady obviously needs help. As a lawyer I can see why most of those cases were filed -- though I wouldn't file them myself! I find the Google case most interesting. Google's lawyers clearly envisioned th

This, is Twitter. It's a bit of a PR stunt too, of course. But this sort of public, real-time communication strikes me as vastly superior to, say, a call to 911 or Public Sanitation. For one thing, everyone can read it and respond immediate

One million words and "stands" is the best you can find to describe a set that is "growing like mad"? :p

Yes. But it may be worth the trade off in time and effort saved. Plus, for what it's worth, I'm a pretentious dick.

Everquest has destroyed more marriages than alcoholism. I can only imagine what it has done to credit scores.

It's called agnosticism. It's not new. "...in regard to the Olympic gods, speaking to a purely philosophical audience, I would say that I am an Agnostic. But speaking popularly, I think that all of us would say in regard to those gods that

I'll repeat the commentary I left on Kennerly's blog (which is always a great read, by the way): ------- This debate is fascinating. Conservative commentators like Bainbridge et al should be taking the stance that eBay loses this case becau

Fantastic! More Any Rand gibberish. If we're converting to a world where giving away your fortune is reprehensible immorality and greedily amassing a Scrooge McDuck-sized pool of gold is the new golden rule, count me out. What the Randians

The editorial makes a good point. Absent some new catastrophe, the blood letting is over for US firms. Many even have the cash flow to look at acquisitions. Consumer spending, too, is on a slow rise. So most of the dividend-paying, consumer

No that's not true. A private person can privately record any conversation he or she wants. (Remember Monica?) Warrant requirements only apply to government action, meaning the government itself or someone acting on the government's behalf.

Verizon is eventually going to kill themselves with all this VCAST crap. It cost them the iPhone. Now it's going to alienate Google. No one wants it. It gets them nowhere.
