Why didn’t Stephen Colbert nail Google CEO Eric Schmidt on Net Neutrality?

September 24, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Google CEO Eric Schmidt appeared a few nights ago on The Colbert Report. The two discussed everything from user privacy to why Google exited China and Google’s “Don’t be Evil” thing.

Although, the interview was funny, I just wish Colbert was aware of the recent News around the possible destruction of  Net Neutrality by Voogle (Google and Verizon). He could have nailed Schmidt on that when Schmidt  claimed  Google was still about “Don’t Be Evil”. Read more of this post

Entrepreneurs Learned their Lesson from the Bubble Days

July 31, 2010 by 2 Comments

Ron Conway and Paul Graham share some positive and optimistic information with the TechCrunch Founder, Michael Arrington and the audience during the Social Currency CrunchUp in Palo Alto,  on Friday. Unfortunately, they both mostly addressed the outcomes for investors, who always have liquidation preferences and other protections that put them ahead of founders.

Conway who said, has invested on over 500 startups, expects about one-third of them fail, one-third get investors their money back, and one-third bring a 2x to Google-x return which btw, Conway invested in Google and PayPal early on. But that’s not the case. Conway noticed that during the Internet Bubble in 1997 to 2001 — the failure rate was about 77 percent. Read more of this post

Did the Smoking Hot Miss DC say Awesome DC?

May 28, 2010 by Leave a Comment


Although, this is the weirdest interview I have ever watched, but I loved it: a) she is smoking hot b) she said “Awesome DC” in 1:43 minute :-) I think she said “Awesome DC”. Did she? What did she mean by that?

The disappointing part of the interview with Miss DC 2009, Jen Correy  is the reporter, who frames groping as a newly emerging and unexplainable trend. Her line of questioning: “Why do you think this is? . . . Where was this? . . . Who knew? Is this a new thing? Is this something you started seeing in college that is now accelerating?” To her credit, Corey handles the feigned disbelief well: “No. This started happening to me as soon as I started hitting puberty. As soon as I got tall enough, guys would yell things to me from the car, and now that I’m out in public more often, I get grabbed a lot.” Read more of this post
