ETA Bombs Spanish Newspaper

Crunch Notes (Free subscription) | 06/10/2008

The ETA may or may not have a legitimate goal in demanding Basque independence, but bombing a building full of journalists is no way to win karma points or influence people.

I already picked one blog fight today. So on the other issue, I’m going with what Mathew Ingram said.

Dare Obasanjo Quits Blogging

Crunch Notes (Free subscription) | 03/05/2008

As much as it pissed me off when Microsoft's Dare Obasanjo defaced my wikipedia page to prove some point (what he was really doing was hitting me back for criticizing Microsoft the day before), I’m sad to see him leave blogging. When he wasn't being a total asshole he had some smart things to say. [...]

Nice Job, Mainstream Media

Crunch Notes (Free subscription) | 02/26/2008

I’d call PC Magazine Editor in Chief Lance Ulanoff’s article about Facebook (reprinted here by Fox News) a hit job, except that it is so utterly devoid of logic and actual analysis that it really can't be classified as anything other than a sad commentary on the state of technology reporting in mainstream media. His argument [...]

TechCrunch, Peaking, Etc.

Crunch Notes (Free subscription) | 02/21/2008

A lot of people write a lot of stuff that's pretty negative about TechCrunch. Since I don't actually do an ego monitor, we miss most of it. But every once in a while something bubbles up and I see it. Usually I don't respond because it just encourages more of the same. But today a [...]

Wow, The Last Week Has Been A Nightmare

Crunch Notes (Free subscription) | 02/07/2008

I have had a terrible flu the last few days. It started last Friday with a fever (the early stages of the flu often feel great when the only symptom is a fever…), but by Monday I was bed ridden. Tuesday morning I just was too sick to even sleep, and just wanted someone to [...]

I hope they all come true, except Julia Allison getting into porn and Seesmic sucking. And the Mahalo one.

I Made A Woman Comment, And I’m Totally Screwed

Crunch Notes (Free subscription) | 12/17/2007

Is this comment sexist? Shelley, Lane’s attorney is abusing the DMCA for his/her own goals. And copyright has nothing to do with “giving credit.” It has to do with being forced to license work unless it falls under fair use, which this clearly does. Mathew is right, you are wrong. But since Lane is a woman, it [...]

The Fact And Fiction Of Sam Sethi

Crunch Notes (Free subscription) | 12/14/2007

So Sam Sethi, former TechCrunch UK editor, announced the closing of his Blognation blog network today. Hey lays 100% of the blame for the failure on me personally. And while I agree with Mathew Ingram, Techfold and others that it isn't appropriate to lay blame on others for your own failure. But I also want [...]

Duncan Riley Is Clearly Over-Facebooked

Crunch Notes (Free subscription) | 12/06/2007

We get a lot of criticism on TechCrunch for posting too many Facebook stories. Maybe people are right…Duncan is clearly over-Facebooked based on this Twitter message.
