macbeach commented on Drue Kataoka: Inexplicable Fameball Priestess of Silicon Valley

"@ZelimirSharan: Well played. I can only add that there seems to be some sort of subliminal message here about out of control eyebrows (which I have so it's OK for me to make fun of them). On the substance (such as it is): to the extent that Network Neutrality is ever implemented it will kill most of what made the Internet revolutionary and make it a lot more like our overtaxed and monopoly controlled telephone and cable systems. Netroots: you've made your bed."

"I won't waste my time with the stupid video. These two (among many) seem to amazingly come up with some attention-getting emotional stunts just at about the time they need to draw attention to some money-making activity.

macbeach commented on Larry Ellison Can't Be Bothered With the Facts

"Isn't XX = 20? Ellison is showing his age. Speaking of which... I remember working at a partner company on the early lines of code for an Oracle interface that was also being advertised as a done deal. Interestingly, Kirk Bradley is the fellow I worked with there and at he time, the notion that Oracle would work at all on IBM equipment was pretty amazing."

"@Ryan Tate: Still says "warning" as far as I can tell. *going out to buy a lion costume in case the elephant costume gets shot* *also checking to see if there is anything like killer-bees-in-a-can*"
