They got scared competing in the rough and tumble world of technology. They liked to stay home instead of getting out there and making the deals needed to get the news flowing through their system. Too bad cause they were close.

They should have taken the BART to the city a few more times instead of waiting for everyone to come pay homage in Mountain View. Even better, gotten on an airplane to NY and got to know how the media biz works. They have nice technology, but you need news to make it sing.

Steve thinks he’s the only one who has copies of the remastered Beatles, or was a fan when it was new, but I bought a set at Amazon and am now listening to the STEREO version of Because.

Because the wind is high ahhh love is old is love is new. Love is all love is you.

And I bet my sound system is more fuck-you-up than Steve’s. Oh yeah, and I actually write code, so I don’t have to wait for someone to write it for me.

And I can write just as confusing a mess of prose as Steve can — so there! :-)

Just make the whole thing one big Beatles analogy. It’s an underserved niche.

And for those complaining that there’s no editing, what makes you think this wasn’t already cut in half from the original submission?

Oh, and Friendfeed is not dead.

I suspect the correct way to read this sort of thing is chant it at high speed with the hope that, like subliminal advertising, some sort of hidden message emerges through the babble, like it does in the movie “Pi”.

This article gives lots of people lots of hope and I agree with you that Paul Buchheit is the key. If you can find out what Paul is doing …
