Off topic, but Street Easy kicks serious butt. If anyone living in NYC is ever looking for a place to buy/rent, start there. I don't work for the company, I'm just an avid fan and frequent user. And I recommend it to everyone I know.

Absolutely true store: I once knew a professional hatchet man (a person spineless companies hire to fire large numbers of employees -- usually to fire an entire building of people). He told me once that he was part of a team that had to fir

I was browsing the image bookmarking site, weheartit.com and noticed that a lot of people are using Tumblr for redistribution of porn. I'm not passing judgement on that but if they start to do bizdev deals, they're going to have to find a w

"It’s 'hard to imagine the name changing if you’ve invested in all of these domains,' as a source of mine said." Six or seven domains? What is that, like $300 or $400 dollars per year? I think Microsoft can absorb that cost to the point whe
