  Seth Godin, “We’re the same, we’re the same, we’re…”: Sometimes, we try so hard to fit in we give consumers no choice but to seek out the cheapest. After all, if everything is the same, why not buy what’s cheap and close? How about a site that says, “Here’s why we’re different.” And means it. (Easy to read this and nod your head,...

Great moments in journalism
jsnell: (Actual e-mail from Gizmodo’s Brian Lam via a public affidavit. Please note we don’t actually know the context of this e-mail, particularly what communications from Apple preceded it or followed it.) Context aside, one thing is clear: Brian Lam is a cock.

jballer: Gizmodo's Trade Secret Liability →
