- TechCrunch’s editor Michael Arrington hates you PR and marketing people bugging him all the time and making him agree to ridiculous stuff, such as embargoes. To combat this problem he’s promising to break all and every embargoed news content he gets. How laudable! Then you realize he says he’s more than willing to accept embargo if he — and only he — gets the exclusive. How self-serving! Ladies, if you send me your numbers and your embargo agreements, I’ll promise to break it all night. My contact’s on the right hand side.
- David Bunnell is the guy that started the whole Macworld Expo in 1985, a year after Steve Jobs and Apple’s introduction of the Macintosh. He writes in a piece for the San Francisco Chronicle his memories of Steve Jobs, painting him as the cavalier spoiled-brat-genius that we’ve all come to know and endear.
- Facebook released stats for its member usage today, and all signs pointing to accelerated growth. The social network is now gaining 600,000 to 700,000 new users a day with 700 million users uploading pictures each month and 13 million users updating their Facebook status at least once a day. If only they make money.
