Rarely do you see things put so susinctly. Sometimes I could just kiss Paul Graham, but that would be kind of weird and creepy. :) He captures the inevitability of the TV vs. Internet war, the sheer obviousness and the magic and slaps it all down in a few hundred words like it was meant to be.

Inspired by this recent article, I thought I'd sit down and compose my secret for talking to people. I've been lucky in that I've never had a problem with shyness, (edit: largely, I believe, because I've had this mentality since as early as I can remember - only with less profanity. Despite being so...

Over a year ago Paul Graham caused quite some uproar calling  Microsoft Dead.   Unlike in the 90’s, none of his startup Founders fear (or even respect) Microsoft.  They have their eyes on Google and other startups - so Microsoft must be dead.  Cash-rich, wildly successful - just not a fut...
