    Well, I tried. I waded in, thinking I could decipher what was going on, and got lost at about paragraph 5. What the fuck is wrong with these people?

    At least I can't say you didn't warn me.

    Meh, how many of these "wonder kids" we saw during the last dotcom bust a decade ago and yet we hear nothing from them nowadays?

    I read something about this kid daniel a while ago: his startup is merely a custom wordpress site, not even coded (if you can call putting a WP site together coding) by him but some 25 yr old which he payed for that if I recall correctly.

    But you know whats even funnier? Back in my teens I would stumble with guys like daniel all the time. They were a dime-a-dozen, and all of them my age or even a couple years older.

    Problem? well, to put it simple none of them could keep up with the BS: having some knowledge in tech just didnt compare to a CS graduate, and as soon as they reached their 20s the bright kid was replaced by an average guy who couldnt do what most of his peers did everyday.

    Being so reluctant to even try college, to the point of calling it a waste of time ('cause working in a common startup for 5 years until its bankrupt really pays out!) this kid is going to find himself flipping burgers and living with his parents well into his 30s.

    In a scam like this, you can only keep pumping bullshit until a better scammer comes by, which is what daniel over here is going to learn the hard way in a few years from now.

    This kid is basically a product, like a star child being push fowards by his money-grabbing parents.

    He's actually right, about ads: if you take all of the spammer shit out (which is low-yield anyway) there's just not enough ad money to fuel every news site on the internet.

    Of course you can work things out, but that would require entire sites like gawker and such to be run by no more than 5 guys as a side-business from their homes, without offices, parties or any fancy shit like say a salary.

    And BTW, it's PROTIP, havent you ever read a Gamepro?

    You can use this genius strategy even if you have a bricks-and-mortar store:

    1. Destroy all the roads to your store
    2. Eliminate signs/GPS signal that might lead people there
    3. Raise prices
    4.????
    5. PROFIT #rupertmurdoch

    I am interested always in the proposition that nothing can be lest it first appear in Dilbert. Like, the pointy-headed boss orders: "Run me a hard copy of the internets; I'm gonna do some serious browsing tonight." #rupertmurdoch

    This is perhaps the saddest day ever. First we learn that Sex Goddess Andrea Peyser is only being read by a mere 500,000 people, and now we are being threatened with the possibility that Sex Goddess Andrea Peyser might not appear on Google searches. Oh the humanity! #rupertmurdoch

    That photo of him looks like Peep Show: The Wonder Years.

    He's Mark, obviously.

    "I'll say, 'You have an amazing body. You have amazing breasts,'" he reports. The next thing you know, you'll get a picture of a breast," he says with a hearty laugh.

    As if the mental image of sexting grandparents isn't hot enough, we're also invited to imagine the tantalizing digital photo of a single elderly breast that so effectively turns that old dude on.
