    Something Israeli about that guy (not necessarily in a bad way) His dad is Jack Arrington, who is a principal at CALIBRE, management and technology service for the defense world:

    Single withered neuron signals: "Calee-behr" is also Israeli slang, meaning something like "high caliber."

    It's also another case of tech insiders who think that the products they are attracted to will actually succeed in the market. Sorry, but even if the CrunchPad is released and kind of cool, no one is going to buy it, because it doesn't fill any sort of market need. Whose going to spend $x00 on a touch screen browser when that money could go toward a better laptop or phone? Stupid.

    I won't waste my time with the stupid video.

    These two (among many) seem to amazingly come up with some attention-getting emotional stunts just at about the time they need to draw attention to some money-making activity.

    I find their revelations about technology often not so revelatory.

    I'd rather get my information from technologists who have subsequently learned journalism than from journalists (and other non-tech backgrounds) who struggle to understand technology having never "done it".

    I went to Brazil once. I applied for my visa with time to spare to ensure I could into the country. Wasn't that hard.

    Wait, is this the same Sarah Lacy who epically wrote, "People who would never use MySpace or Digg or Twitter are joining Twitter" in a Business Week opus?!

    Get outta town, Lacy. Srsly. You suck.

    Countries like Brazil, Russia, and many others require U.S. citizens to apply for visas as a point of pride. They do it not because there is any great risk in facilitating the entrance of U.S. citizens into their country as tourists. Rather, they do it because the U.S. requires their citizens to apply for visas. The U.S. generally requires visas of citizens from countries where the citizens frequently wish to immigrate to the U.S. The U.S. is worried that casual visitors from such countries may remain illegally and uses the mechanism of the visa to control entrance and make tracking more effective. Countries like Russia and Brazil are, in turn, insulted. ("We have such wonderful country! Why would we want to stay there!") Hence the red tape and the sometimes absurdly high processing fees (Russia, e.g., is over $100 for standard processing. What’s that exchange rate again?).

    It's not scary when wikipedia updates events in near real time, or writes things like "In September 2009, Lacy was widely criticized and ridiculed on Internet discussion boards..." when we're only 3 days into September. It's only really scary when they report on things that happen the day after they're written about.
