Bill Nguyen is, in many ways, an embodiment of the problem with Silicon Valley. Danielle Sacks wrote an excellent profile which is more than a month old now. In case you missed it, though, it does a splendid job explaining how Nguyen went so wrong with his startup Color and why you shouldn’t have a [...]
Businessweek has a story in its latest issue about Sony. It was on the front page of Daring Fireball and linked to a couple of times in my Twitterstream. As a long time Sony fan, I was interested to see what it said. The article is terrible and I have no idea why anyone has [...]

People that run these create a startup in 48 hours things? They’re snake oil salesmen, pure and simple. They’re selling to software developers a get rich quick scheme in slightly more respectable clothing. There is no substitute for hard work and no short cuts to success. You want to build a business? Great. Be prepared [...]
In the great tradition of pundits pontificating on products that they have not yet used, I want to go on record as saying Facebook Timeline will be a flop. I can see the value of something like this for showing to very close family but I just don’t understand why you want to want to [...]
