    Carr does not have a Timesman vibe. He does give off the vibe of a dude who has been sleeping under a bridge since the mid-90s.

    I feel like this is the kind of party that, 20 years ago, the guy who invented the cassette tape would've thrown for himself.

    why so cranky? it's a party. party party party.


    and, unlike the banksters, it's not us govt funding that's paying for it


    investors want to pay for parties, people like parties, people go to parties ...


    also, tech is iterative. breakthru, iteration iteration iteration, breakthru


    the year after the iphone came out, every hot new app looked like the iphone ... til the next new thing

    These people are all a bunch of wannabes with their PHP websites and Javascript Ajax bullshit delivered over a LAMP stack.

    I want Ana Marie Cox's job. Apparently all she does is drink and go to parties and occasionally poop out a paragraph or two of incomprehensible dreck for her editors. Nice work if you can get it and she doesn't have nearly the overhead in hideous pink clothes and Pilates classes that Julia Allison does.

    Why does Gawker's tech editor hate the tech industry? It seems like whenever Owen starts writing rather than reporting news it's about how we should hate the tech industry or someone is far more successful than he or she deserves (see Marissa Mayer). It started out tawdry and now it's boring and predictable as well.

    @kinchknifeblade: Tech industry? You mean tumblr, pop17 etc? That is called web 2.0 bubble, just like dotcom bubble. Real tech innovations are done at companies like HP, Apple, Cisco and countless others. This web 2.0 bubble built on venture capitalist money hoping to cash out when some Google, yahoo or microsoft would buy them; can't be called tech industry. And, that is the reason valleywag editors hate it.

    The attendees of SXSW Interactive have nothing to look at but each other, and nothing to listen to but their own kind.


    You forgot twittering. Especially twittering which Twitterers you were currently twittering with.

    @bigduke: I know a lot of locals who love South By, so this comment makes me think you're the type of idiot who lives in a city, but can't stand when the city doesn't work for you about 3-4 weeks a year. I know it causes gridlock on the streets, but if it bothers you this much, move to Houston - nothing will bother you there.

    @The Human Tornado: I love SXSW, ACL Fest, and all the other things that bring people to town. Purple sweaters and all! I love the geeks, the movie people, the music people, the bikers, the rodeo people, the football people, even (begrudgingly) the legislators. Thank you for coming.


    Perhaps you'd like to purchase some real estate while you're here? I'm shameless and I DON'T CARE.

    @apocalypse-nowish: Could be. I've never seen any locals anywhere in Texas drink Lone Star but admittedly I haven't been everywhere in the state (254 counties!). Maybe it's also generational.


    I betcha you actually know how to say Bexar County, with kin in San Antone.
