Sony evaluating possible goodwill gesture for PSN outage and breach (Joystiq)

Apr 29th 2011 1:42PM All they need to do it re-enable Other OS and I am sure the hostility will be lessend.

Finding your startup's "moment" (The Jason Calacanis Weblog)

Jun 17th 2008 8:39PM My Windows moment was when I realized what a rip-off it was of the Mac OS. But seriously, great post, inspirational.

Apple sued over supposed iTunes monopoly, being mean to Microsoft (Engadget)

Jan 5th 2008 1:38AM I am willing to be that this person ripped all of her CDs with Windows Media Player that was is set to WMA by default (not MP3), then bought an iPod, then discovered that she would have to re-rip all of the CDs again. And when she was told the iPod does not play WMAs, she is thinking it is Apple's fault.

Veoh adds Hulu content, has no official relationship with Hulu (Download Squad)

Jan 3rd 2008 6:21PM Forgiveness, not permission. Biz dev is dead. Embrace edge distribution. Otherwise, Hulu would not make the videos embeddable.

Big trend coming out of TechCrunch40: data normalization services (The Jason Calacanis Weblog)

Sep 19th 2007 2:50PM I am assuming Mint's business model is getting you to switch to lower rate CCs and then they get an affiliate commission? In just guessing what the service provides (I signed up but it did not properly suck in my CC data for some reason, servers getting hammered?) it is a service I would pay for. But it is great that they have a business model that allows it to be free. I have been waiting for an app like this for a while. And I think the "kids" are coming up with better ideas, business models, and contingencies that anyone who is 45+ who has been in the banking biz for years.

CalacanisCast 19 beta (The Jason Calacanis Weblog)

Apr 9th 2007 11:00PM Wow, look at all of the shills (um, I mean posties) come out of the woodwork to comment on this. Jason, this guy is as slithery as a lawyer. Thanks to this interview, we know that he knows that deep down inside this idea really ruins what the blogosphere has become over the years, and he does not care, since he is in it for the money.

Kevin's bold move... (The Jason Calacanis Weblog)

Feb 2nd 2007 3:42PM Damn me for not believing in you when you did the Netscape thing, Jason. I think this proves you are right about your decision to pay submitters to Netscape. And regarding Chris's scrip, Kevin needs to read this book The Starfish and the Spider. Kevin is now like the RIAA and the diggers are like p2p. Kevin is trying to put the genie back in the bottle. Not going to happen.

PVRWire closing... (The Jason Calacanis Weblog)

Jan 31st 2007 1:21PM I remember in bubble 1.0 there were a couple times where a company would get sold, the buyer would mismanage it, and then the buyer would sell it back to the original owner for pennies on the dollar.
