I am not going to say. However, I have never seen anything like that. A handful of people were there and it might have been the most uncomfortable conversational pause I/we have ever experienced. It started as a pretty entertaining debate about Twitter actually, and before you know it this guy just dropped the bomb. He definitely wasn't saying it ironically either. He was worked up and he meant to lord over us. How do you reply? What are the next words out of your mouth? - Sacca

Just smile and move on. Karma will even things out. - Tad Donaghe

Must have been Jim Clark...what was debate? - Pokai

For some reason this reminds me of the line from the movie Heathers when high school douchebag responds to lunchtime poll about what would he do if he won the lottery: "That's easy. I just slide that wad over to my father, 'cause he is like one of the top brokers in the state." - hunter walk

Bleak VC Quarter? Why? « abovethecrowd.com

Thursday at 6:36 am - via Bookmarklet - Link

"For reasons you could easily list – Sarbanes Oxley; 12b1 trading rules; shareholder litigation; option pricing scandals; personal liability on 10-Q filing signatures – it is simply not much fun being a public executive. The Benchmark portfolio current has over 15 companies north of $50MM in revenues, and they are all private. This would have never happened in 1995 (even pre-bubble) where most of these companies would ALREADY BE public." -- Bill Gurley nails it. - Sacca via Bookmarklet

Where The Government Tax Rebate Checks Really Went: Porn

Wednesday at 9:48 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link

An independent market-research firm has discovered that many websites focused on adult or erotic material have experienced an upswing in sales in the recent weeks since checks have appeared in millions of Americans' mailboxes across the country."In a June 15, 2008 survey to our members, thirty two percent of respondents referenced the recent stimulus package as part of their decision to either become a new member, or renew an existing membership." - Sacca via Bookmarklet

So this is what the government stimulus package stimulates! - Paul Denlinger

Limelight-Akamai Judge: No Permanent Injunction, No New Trial (LLNW, AKAM)

Tuesday at 3:47 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link

Adewale Oshineye liked this

As a veteran of this space, I know how lucky we should all feel that software development has largely been devoid of patent infringement cases. (Not entirely, but largely.) Akamai has repeatedly sued its competitors either forcing them out of business or ultimately using judgments as pricing mechanisms in M&A. It is a sad way to to business and certainly has hampered innovation and hurt customers. Perfect illustration of the need for patent law reform. - Sacca via Bookmarklet
