“CBC pulls Falun Gong documentary”

November 8, 2007

“He was very polite.” What this has to be do with anything about this story, I cannot imagine. But it has the air of unnecessary factual adornment that often marks a guilty conscience. I hope we learn more. Update.

“AOL’s New Plan: It’s Not Working”

November 7, 2007

I don’t understand why AOL still exists. At some point, doesn’t it make more sense to return money to shareholders and go get a real job? Its inevitable obliteration was obvious to everyone other than Gerry Levin (OK, not everyone, TW’s stock actually – get this – soared on the news, but still, that was […]

Made For Each Other

November 7, 2007

Surely, they’re made for each other? Each has repeatedly demonstrated that he’s willing to say and do pretty much anything to win support. Surely, they deserve each other?

Is Kleiner The Fat Lady on Web 2.0?

November 5, 2007

It’s seems far too early to call this, but there has been some momentum building in this direction. The latest is Tom Foremski’s post saying that Kleiner Perkins has halted investments in Web 2.0. This would mean a lot more to me if I knew exactly what Web 2.0 was – I’ve been reading about […]

“File-sharing is good for Big Music”

What on earth is this formerly remarkable anchor doing shoveling the worst kind of puerile garbage? What a disappointment.
