    Jason Calacanis, Valleywag's new Apple analyst

    "Valleywag’s Jason Calacanis believes that Apple is working on a networked HDTV," writes Adrian Kingsley-Hughes at ZDNet. Adrian, if your editor tries to make you go back and erase what you wrote, because his drinking buddies from Columbia Journalism Review think it's fatal to publish a huge factual fuckup in the first three words of an article, call me. I'll come over and slap J. Jonah Jameson with a printout of exactly how many people have already seen it. Tell him, "It's not the crime, it's the coverup." Has-been journalists love a Watergate reference.

    On the upside, you've given Owen and me a whole new topic for slow afternoons: People who don't even know they're working for Valleywag. Calacanis was easy. Scoble isn't hard enough. We'll have to figure it out some more.
