Wow. I just caught up on all this TechCrunch UK – Sam getting fired – LesBlog/LeWeb/LeWhatever – hoo haa. Looks like we need more positive energy, man. Welcome to the bickersphere™
There are plenty of good London-based bloggers out there who could fill Sam’s shoes.
The first time I met Sam a while ago, he said he was working on an ‘OPML Exchange Server’ for Microsoft. Never heard any more about that since then. Seemed like a nice guy, but was little up himself, imho. He also had quite along heated debate with my partner outside Kettners, as Hugh McLeod and I stood around and talked bollocks to kill time
The last time I saw him, at the Chris Anderson Geek Dinner, he was pissed as a newt! ( you might be bale to see him wobbling in the doorway behind Chris) ;}
I was just having a look at the New York Times homepage – which I rarely go directly to, to be honest, though I follow deep links to stories and articles.
Was this page designed for Google/Yahoo/MSN/a.n.other search engine, or for ACTUAL HUMANS to view? How can anyone find anything on this page? It’s so unbelievably cluttered!! I’m totally shocked.
Now, can they please fix the log in links (for comments etc) so that those of us (old school users) who paid got honest cash for this service to grow, don’t feel secondary to the Yahoo! (freebie) users who came and took it over!
And no – I don not want to convert my flickr account to a Yahoo! one, thank you.
I saw the ads for this recently, while over in the States : I thought it was the new BlackBerry! I didn’t even notice the marque, while the phone was being flipped around like a deck of cards.
Well, well, well. It looked nice, that’s for sure.
BlackJack is my favourite Casino game by far.

Word on the street has it that there’s huge queues outside the Apple Store on Regent Steeet. I wonder what they’re queuing for?
Possibly the same as I will have to when I return a LESS THAN TWO WEEK OLD MacBook Pro 17inch currently suffering from random shutdowns.
I was on support for ages. They tell me I have to take it back to the USA where I bought it – isn’t Apple a GLOBAL company yet????!!! For crying out loud!
On the phone we went through some things to try to solve it. Reseating the RAM and resetting the Power Management [PMU] (remove battery and power – hold power button down for over 5 seconds) – but still, it shut down TWICE while we on the phone.
You could almost hear the guy on the other end of the support line sigh when I mentioned the phrase ‘random shutdown’.
Hopefully, when I’m back in Boston in January, they should have a register that I wanted to fix this within the 14days.
My only other option is to send it for repair. Even though it’s LESS THAN 14 DAYS OLD!!
Happy Dave Heals Day!
Wow. Then I’m not surprised to see that
