There's a fascinating-if-probably-not-quite-true TechCrucnh post from Michael Arrington which says, in effect, he's been told by a music industry insider that they know they're doomed; they're just taking what they can from the old business model as it fades away. Kind of like the way in On The Beac...

As a self-appointed member of that exotic species named “internet entrepreneurs”, I was interested in Fraser Nelson’s article in the current issue of The Spectator. The summary of the piece states: “… the Conservatives are taking their cue from the West Coast of America...

I think this story is extremely frigtening, because it really shows that sometimes you create sensations as a blog, just to be able to talk about something. I stopped reading Techcrunch for good a while back because of well.. excuse me.. Mike Arringtons blogpost about “european” vs. R...

Wasn’t it just other day that Michael Arrington was whining about how unfair and mean people were to him? And yet that didn’t stop Erick Schonfeld from running a long story on TechCrunch about a completely baseless rumor that Last.Fm was sharing user data with the RIAA in order to track ...

A hot eruption of Bitchmeme has happened over the past few days starting when TechCrunch wrote a story about Last.fm sending its listener data to the RIAA supposedly to find out what naughty children had obtained the new U2 album early. Such a story obviously was followed by a shit storm of outrage ...

Last.fm follow up to the unsubstantiated rumour published as fact by TechCrunch on Friday....

TechCrunch, one of the Web’s top tech blogs, sparked a firestorm of criticism with a recent story about Last.fm — the popular music-sharing network that CBS acquired last year — by reporting that the service had turned over a pile of user information to the Recording Industry Assoc...

Each week I am asked when I will "beat" Techcrunch. My answer is always the same - that I don't want to beat them currently and, more importantly, the game is setup to keep the top on top. Whether it's bonus points on Gabe's blog or Ev giving them 100k bonus followers on Twitter, all of it...
