Is this Hacker News or Valley Wag?

This sort of thing makes me want to have public voting information on the site and the ability to remove votes by certain people from my own news.yc front page.

Being a journalist at a tech conference/festival can be a dangerous thing... just ask the Dateline mole at Defcon last summer, Michelle Madigan:

Certainly these were different circumstances, though.

maybe this 'journalist' has a book coming out and would like to raise more publicity about herself in order to get some interest in her book.

seems to be working quite well seeing as this 'news' is posted on a lot of major tech sites.

Is this the real Zuck? After that poor interview on CBS' 60 Minutes and the 'every 100 years' hype?

"By now, Lacy was becoming aware of how she was losing the crowd, and said, "Anybody who's seen my (TV) show...has seen me throw a whole glass of water on (Techcrunch founder Michael) Arrington."

With a sly look, Zuckerberg grabbed her water glass and moved it out of her reach."

I dunno - I just asked a friend of mine who was there if it was as bad as it sounded in the article. His response was "it was worse." And this guy is a pretty normal, even-keeled, somewhat-well-known-web-2.0-blogger guy, so I'd bet he isn't overreacting.

this looks staged. I wonder how much she was paid

If the whole interview was like this then the article blows this way out of proportion.

eh... She dropped the ball in the last quarter of that, but I think he could have tossed a lifejacket instead of watching her drown.

thanks for the link

Well, if you notice she listens carefully what he is saying which is quite contrary to her attitude that follows

Also, she is just waiting his response to say what she is thinking. So, it seems she was ready to attack.

Who paid her is the question to act like that. Or I'd just say is kind of normal reporter behaviour that tried to make the interview known.

Also I didn't find her attitude so rush as the article describes.

both got what they wanted
