So great. Yahoo should not have been allowed to shutdown Geocities.

If you read his blog, I don't know how you could possibly classify Gruber as someone who does "reporting". It's quite clear that he is not your traditional reporter nor does he ever claim to be one. His pieces are personal opinion pieces with a personal voice. Whether his opinions jibe with Apple or with the anti-Apple crowd is besides the point. What matters is that his voice is authentic and provides unique insight into the world of Apple (not always but often enough) - which is more than what you could say for many other blogs covering Apple or any other technology company.

Spaces most certainly is still there, only it's not called "Spaces" anymore.

If you've been using Lion all this time thinking spaces no longer work then this is your lucky day!

I disagree with a key point in this article that postulates that Series A investors have taken on as much risk as Series B investors.

The mere fact of knowing that other investors - especially if they are large and famous ones - have already invested in a business by itself reduced your risk. Having 3 years worth of information about a company vs 2 years worth of information reduces your risk. There is more to risk than the binary "unproven business model" vs "proven business model" that the author seem to make it out to be.

The author's own words: "Having said all that, I believe that it requires a lot of courage to be the first to invest in an unproven business."

Why? Because there is more risk.

in the meantime, i'm still waiting for stevey's promised last three posts ...

In most browsers you wouldn't know if it was Flash that crashed or the browser itself. In Chrome it is more explicit.

The topic is newsworthy but I don't think you should be editorializing it via the title.

Faster, cheaper, uses less power, and for people who do not need to program or edit videos on the go, much simpler.

yeah that's what the article mentioned at the end. did you finish it?

Steve Yegge said this in the comments to his last blog post: "The short answer for why I'm going into blog-retirement is: insufficient return on investment. It's nice that some people like it, but it's too much work for the stress it's given me over the past 5 years."

why? the only use for java on my PC right now is that one of my banks' website requires it for login.
