Molding the break 
| | It's time for a VC to break free of the form: VC gossip, catty VC valuation badmouthing, anonymous confessions of the top 10 ways VCs blow off venture beggars, sex tips of the nearly wealthy.... Or perhaps follow Tom Evslin's lead and tell funny stories with deeper meaning. |

Free PC 2.0?
| | I don't think Google will make a PC. I think Google will: |
| | a. launch calendar and office suite in the next six months. |
| | b. by the end of the year they will come out with a Linux-based OS and offer it for free to PC makers. Those PC makers will love Google for giving them a free OS and Google will love extending the reach of their money maker: google Adsense. |
| | The big win: Google can offer PC makers something they have never had: reoccurring revenue. Not only can Google give a free OS and office suite, they could offer them 10% of the Google Adsense revenue of that computer/user--FOR LIFE! |
| | Can you imagine if Dell or Compaq could not only sell a computer for $500 with $50 in profit, but also make another $25-50 a year in Adsense revenue? The person keeps the computer for another two years and Dell makes more from the Adsense than the computer. |
| | Where will the ads run? Just wondering. |
Anybody need a good IT guy in Savannah? Or anywhere?
| | My Catharsis is the unfinished story of a an IT professional's employment journey to (but not yet from) hell. At IT Garage. |
See ya (even) later
| | My flight this morning from Las Vegas to Oakland was cancelled. For awhile it looked like I might need to rent a car and drive; but United got me a nonstop tonight to San Francisco. |
| | On the downside, this puts me in Las Vegas' biggest departure crowd of the year. |
| | Meanwhile, a big thanks to friends new and old I got to know better through the CES 2006 Camp. Uploads are slow here at the hotel (where I'm hanging for a bit), but eventually you'll see some shots from our evening get-togethers in my CES photo collection. After that one uploads, I'll put more up at Bubbleshare, which was very helpful through the whole show. |
| | I had thought of going back to the show, but I have a lot of work to catch up on, and hope I can find somewhere at McCarran Airport to take advantage of its free wi-fi. |
