A staple of the Gilded Age 2.0 startup party, beyond custom stickers and a GIF photo booth, is the novelty cocktail. At last night's "Shin Digg" (get it?) in New York, the chic aggregator was serving gin-based middle fingers to one of its vocal critics.

Tim Cook's grand scheme to avoid American corporate tax rates was just revealed as a little more absurd, with a new report by the New York Times. The (Californian) company is using (Irish) dummy companies to funnel cash to (Manhattan) bank accounts.
