I think Yahoo did the right thing by fighting the Microsoft takeover, and any Yahoo shareholder who thinks otherwise is a whiner. I’ve read much of the tech blogosphere, especially Michael Arrington, side with the whiners. Good to finally see somebody take the long view of things.
John C. Dvorak chastises the whiners in a recent […]

Sigh. I knew all that competitive coolness over the weekend couldn’t last. Now towards the end of the week, we’re stuck with people either buying, salvaging, or raiding stuff.

Anyone else having problems getting off of Dr. Dobb’s and the CMP Tech Network mailing lists? This kind of thing is why I consider AND MARK anything I receive from them now as spam.
I have followed their directed instructions REPEATEDLY to get off their mailing lists to no avail, even after confirmation messages on their […]
You’d think if people were going to copy the idea behind Digg, they would have done it much sooner than now. You know, people like Netscape, who jump in there quick and really rip something off.
