"You lost me at 1979.... it was released in 1978. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00..." - paisano

"By the way, the secret Chevy project that Don risked everything for was none other than the ...wait for it... wait for it... the Chevy Vega! So yes, it will be a complete disaster for Don and his Mad Men. Oh well...http://www.fastcocreate.com/1682914......" - paisano

"Yahoo has done this too many time (almost as often as Google) Remember how they destroyed Delicous? The once former king of bookmarks favorites and links. They let it die on the vine for years. I wrote some scathing pieces about this fiasco years ago while it was happening for former yahoo employee Sarah Lacy for her blog. Search for once delicious now stale. They eventually sold it to the former founders of YouTube As for upcoming yahoo let that languish and die too It was the plancast of its day and should have become eventbright But they Did not take advantage of another great acquisition They could have been the destination for links and events They totally wet the bed there I also think they screwed up with Flickr Though it still has a big userbase it is not Because of anything yahoo has done with flickr It should have gone mobile and become Instagram Or they should have acquired them and merged with flickr" - paisano

"Amazing... he's done more in a few years than all of the pathetic car companies put together in decades. Wow." - paisano

"Thanks for the awesome comparison. I only watched the movie and I loved it but I can see why you feel the way you do. I still plan to read the book eventually. I don't have the same rule to read the book first, on the contrary, because I love movies so much I prefer to watch the bastardization first and then read the almost always superior incarnation of the story. To me it's like comparing apples to oranges though so it's not fair to do this anyway. Movies based on books should always say "influenced or inspired by such and such book". It is fascinating how much a story changes from the page to the screen. I can't remember too many times when it's better in film. Can you name some? Of hand I would say "Somewhere in Time" was superior to the book named "Bid Time Return" originally but renamed over the years to match the famous movie by Richard Matheson (who wrote the screenplay too). Oddly enough, I can say the same thing about Matheson's other book turned to film "What Dreams May..." - paisano

"Totally agree... I'd like to see more products too. They are like a Bonobos doppelgänger only for tops....whereas they focus on the bottom." - paisano

"Hilarious...and so captures how we all do little thing subliminally to let our partner know we're upset, mad, sad, or even perplexed by their behavior." - paisano

"What" - paisano

"Thanks Danny for this" - paisano

"Oh you stuck the landing all right. Most interviews where the interviewer has read the book get lost on one of two points that resonated with them but you were able to focus on the general theme and concept of the subject matter which was perfect in this case. Loved it." - paisano

"Enjoyed this conversation which covered a lot of great info for writers and publishers. Also impressed by how you conducted an excellent interview even when you didn't read the book first!" - paisano

"I use Rebelmouse (well, not enough actually but I have an account). Thanks for letting me know. Megan did awesome job. I used to use a wordpress plugin called LifeStream that did something like this but not nearly as well and not on the home page. I think this is the wave of the future... everything we do from many platforms filtered back to your home page which should be ground zero to your brand or who you are. Well done, my friend." - paisano

"I love the new design of your website. How did you get the home page to do what it does? It seems to aggregate all of your social posts from everywhere! Pinterest, twitter, etc. Very slick." - paisano

"Awesome. I think it will be happening all over the web. I am hoping Google will realize this and make G+ a true commenting system that connects the web-o-sphere directly into its search engine...pure SEO magic. They finally hooked up its own Blogger platform to G+ so I think it's coming soon. They need to buy Disqus already." - paisano

"The fine art of commenting is dying the long slow death that letter writing experienced. I think the only thing that can save it is if more blogs connect the commenting system to one of the big platforms like Facebook, Google Plus, twitter, etc. I used to love Disqus because it made it easier to connect accounts and allow people to comment without having to create yet another login account to manage... but most folks don't even want to create or join Disqus so the blogs that experience the most comments (like TechCrunch) are the ones that connect with one of the big social networks (Facebook in their case)" - paisano

"No one is better qualified than Orli to write such a run-down of all the amazing startups from the Silicon Valley of the Middle East. I am always stunned by the amount of slick stuff coming from there. I'm trying to do the same thing here in Atlanta...to become the Silicon Valley of the South. Israel has proven to the world that everything doesn't have to revolve around San Francisco! It should always revolve around us...people." - paisano

"There's a startling video of the reconstruction of Joseph Merrick AKA the elephant man: http://www.youtube.com/watch..." - paisano

"holy smokes it is brilliant. Kickstarter for audiences... wow" - paisano

"I am convinced this slick beautiful app (so un-google like) was done by Kevin Rose's Milk team. It has the same look and feel as their Oink app. This is why Google acquired Rose and his company. I look forward to their new iPad app next. :)" - paisano

"The download link does not work. What gives????" - paisano

"Thanks for the cool review. The sync tool is the best part! No more flaky third party sync toys!" - paisano

"This is great news for all blogs and bloggers. I've always argued with haters who never give respect to the craft of blogging because they think somehow just because anyone can start a blog that it means anyone can write well. Hogwash. A good blogger is a good writer...period. Just because someone is a traditional journalist doesn't mean they're a good writer either. It's all about the story anyway." - paisano

"i don't see anything. try emailing me at thepaisano at gmail.com" - paisano

"Isn't Life360.com doing this already with more features?" - paisano

"BIG mistake to get rid of the free basic plan. It probably lures most of their customers...who try before they buy it...and it's been proven that the trial period model never works as well as the freemium model. They will learn like Netflix learned once customers leave in droves." - paisano

"Jason was always one of my favorite tech writers and always a class act. He takes the time to correspond via email and I loved his hilarious and insightful TechCrunch Cribs series where he should us the inside world of the most popular startups. He will only go on to bigger and better things. I'm excited to see what he does next." - paisano

"agree with Robert here. Anonymity brings out the slugs and trolls from the rocks and bridges they usually hide under. Also identified by the way they wince at the sunlight.  Of course I don't mean to generalize. I know a bunch of intelligent folks who prefer to remain anonymous and they are not trolls. Just in general I've experienced bad things when it comes to comments that allow fake identities... look at YouTube for goodness sakes. I need to take a shower after reading the comments there. Google should be ashamed of itself for letting that mess grow like a fungus for years. They need to replace youtube comments with G+ already." - paisano

"submitted by reddit to blog." - paisano

"Nice post" - paisano
