But there will never be a Julia Child of software. It's not an art where you can observe the creative process, because that goes on inside the creator's head.

Facebook's Ad Business Is a $3 Billion Mystery - Peter Kafka - Media - AllThingsD

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:19:00 -0800

But how exactly does Facebook’s ad business work? We still don’t know a lot about that part.

The S-1 mentions “advertising” 123 times, and “advertisers” another 117 times. But when it comes to describing how the company actually sells advertising, it is vague.

It beats the hell out of me too. But hey, profits is profits, as long as it's legal it's ok, right?

Happiness Takes (A Little) Magic | The Wirecutter

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 20:11:00 -0800

I owe my livelihood to technology and I love the raw capability it offers us as a tool, but I fear it a bit more than most people do. It's a tool, but it's not quite a hammer, because a hammer doesn't seduce you into sitting around lonely in your underwear for 6 hours at a stretch clicking on youtube videos and refreshing Twitter. I fear technology because I fear that bad feeling I get after a three day XBox binge I go through every year around the holidays. I fear technology not because I think it's evil, but because it's too easy to start clicking and never stop, even if the stream of data starts to go from meaningful to useless after the top 5%.

Thank you.

Claim Chowder: 'The Apple Bubble Is Ready to Burst' | Daring Fireball

Claim Chowder: ‘The Apple Bubble Is Ready to Burst’

Leonid Kanopka, writing for Seeking Alpha in November, two months ago:

Apple is a great company with wonderful products, but its run is up. It seems to me that innovation is beginning to run dry, and the stock price is overinflated. The stock has begun to fall already dropping from its $426 high. If the economy does not pick up and the company does not cushion its freefall, we could see new lows into 2012 — maybe $85. Whatever the case, I see a rocky future and a new bubble about to burst. My recommendation: Sell.

Nailed it.

What a moron. I hoped Leonid shorted aapl in the last week.

Confessions of a Binge Drinker - The Atlantic

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 09:17:00 -0800

It began at dinner with a group of friends in a popular restaurant. What followed was a series of wines paired to dishes, including some rather unusual wine selections by our very talented sommelier. I became a bit tipsy but, after nearly four hours, delightful conversation, and an amazing meal, what I felt most was satiated.

I consumed seven drinks in total, or about two per hour. I finished with a Scotch just to cap the night and then took a taxi home where I watched half of an episode of How I Met Your Mother before tip-toeing to bed.

That's what I call a perfect evening.

Google Comes Up Short In Q4 Earnings • parislemon

Google Comes Up Short In Q4 Earnings

Remember when it would have been a better idea to buy Google stock with the proceeds from your idiotic Apple share sell off?

Yeah. That looked like a stupid thing to say 10 days ago. Today it looks like the worst advice ever.

After the egg was laid today, Google’s stock immediately plunged 10% (currently down 7.5%). Apple’s stock, meanwhile, hit yet another all-time high today (and briefly touched the $400 billion market cap).

But hey, at least Larry Page is super excited about something.

And Google p/e will still be more then 6 times of Apple.

What the hell!?

From Apple:

"The demand for iPhone 4S has been incredible, and our stores in China have already sold out,” an Apple spokesperson told the media. “Unfortunately we were unable to open our store at Sanlitun due to the large crowd, and to ensure the safety of our customers and employees, iPhone 4S will not available in our retail stores in Beijing and Shanghai for the time being. Customers can still order iPhone 4S through the Apple Online Store, or buy at China Unicom and other authorized resellers.”
