    Sean Parker would never make such a provincial sartorial decision. #thesocialnetwork

    Meh, how many of these "wonder kids" we saw during the last dotcom bust a decade ago and yet we hear nothing from them nowadays?

    I read something about this kid daniel a while ago: his startup is merely a custom wordpress site, not even coded (if you can call putting a WP site together coding) by him but some 25 yr old which he payed for that if I recall correctly.

    But you know whats even funnier? Back in my teens I would stumble with guys like daniel all the time. They were a dime-a-dozen, and all of them my age or even a couple years older.

    Problem? well, to put it simple none of them could keep up with the BS: having some knowledge in tech just didnt compare to a CS graduate, and as soon as they reached their 20s the bright kid was replaced by an average guy who couldnt do what most of his peers did everyday.

    Being so reluctant to even try college, to the point of calling it a waste of time ('cause working in a common startup for 5 years until its bankrupt really pays out!) this kid is going to find himself flipping burgers and living with his parents well into his 30s.

    In a scam like this, you can only keep pumping bullshit until a better scammer comes by, which is what daniel over here is going to learn the hard way in a few years from now.

    This kid is basically a product, like a star child being push fowards by his money-grabbing parents.

    She looks cute, and I like the outfit. It’s futuristic enough; the robotic sheen is good for her position and image. But I wish they had found a yellow or orange ball for the shoot—too much red.

    The real-life clutter in the background isn’t working either. You need a creative director to select a set of diverse objects that suggest office clutter and googly-randomness—but not actual clutter. #marissamayer

    Well, "Shitty Margins" usually equates to a more affordable product!
    Way to go Garmin! Socialislamofascists.

    FWIW, having a GPS (Garmin, in my case) at the ready has made my driving life a lot less anxiety prone. #modernandawkward

    In reply to AOL Layoffs Tomorrow to Kick Off Depressing Holiday Season?
    At least when I got laid off, the Southern Baptist prick delayed from Good Friday (because the Judge hadn't signed off on the closure of a major metro newspaper actually making money and the firing of nearly 1,900 people) to the Monday after Easter. Did I mention he was and still is a rich prick? #aol

    Am I really the benchmark for exits now? Ugh... I better have another hit soon. :-)

    Seriously big ups to fellow Sequoia Capital company AdMob on this HUGE home run.

    Amazing execution, perfect timing and a killer team = huge exit. #omarhamoui

    From the video;

    Some of these are probably bigger than we are right now, but we're bigger than we were 12 months ago

    Well now, you're even larger than you were.

    He sounds like a smart and prudent guy.
    Congratulations to him.

    According the script, Sean Parker was also "the guy" who founded Napster.

    I figured that the picture on the left was a JT candid, the one on the right was Parker (which it is), and that I'd see JT-as-Parker after I clicked on the post. Are they seriously just having him grow his hair out a bit and letting that be enough to supposedly look like Parker? This should be interesting. #thesocialnetwork
