    Why is it that tech journalists seem so much more entitled and smug than regular journalists? Is it that they spend so much time around tech people that they believe they're successful entrepreneurs or something?

    As someone who's spent time in the bushveldt, all I can say is baboons suck. They're the cockroaches of the monkey world, and vicious as hell. Food conditioned baboons are extremely dangerous. World's best excuse for a 12-gauge and 00 buckshot.


    And you can learn a lot about human behavior from watching baboons.

    @atlasspanked: This is one of the greatest opening sentences I have ever read in a Gawker comment. Please start a blog or write a book about your experiences. No sarcasm. There's so much here that begs to be known.

    If that baboon touches one hair on that delightful girl's head, I will beat its cherry-red ass all the way to Zimbabwe.


    (Doesn't baboon seem like one of those old colonial words we should have retired by now? Shouldn't they be called ekundu punda or something by now?)

    WTF is up with this guys picture? No offense. But chubby guy trying to camwhore to look hot and give ya fantasies.


    Sometimes I look at pictures and feel that is them. I don't realize them in real life. Instead, by their avatar smiling. Portraits connect us, they are symbolic.


    That tub of blubber is gonna get some serious game. That's all I gotta say.

    I prefer it when you keep your content about the industry business, for the most part. The feud with Arrington is kinda embarrassing to read. (On his side too)

    @taterpie: I love Arrington coverage but only if there's more of a narrative sweep. Who the hell cares whether he's going through with his retreat from the internet? Will we get blow-by-blow coverage of every minute shift in his mood? Shoot me now.

    Well Mike still has not looked inside him. Duncan Riley at inquisitr has a brilliant post on this topic. Now Mike blames Kara Swisher and Valleywag for this. Why does not he look back at what wrong he has done in so many years. All said and done spitting on a persons face or any other bodily harm is simply not an acceptable behavior in this society.
