I'd like to attest to the power of naps myself. There were several times when I was assigned an application that had a function with extremely broken code and trying to fix it in frustration. After a meal and a nap, an elegant solution present itself to me almost always, which requires less coding and easier to implement.

I believe this segmenting is a good thing. VCs are now more knowledgable about the industry that the start up is in, and can actually provide more help and assistance, as well as evaluate the state that startup is in. Gone are the days where VCs mindlessly gives money to startups only to see them burn through it in less than a year before closing shop... hopefully.

Basically shit happens, and the poor guy had a really bad day. It's a good thing he can take it all in his stride.

Strangely enough, this happened to me 4 years ago. I think they called it middle age crisis? Anyways, what I did then was switched from being in IT field to aquaculture. I built a fish farm, raised some fish, learn all about aquaculture, built a profitable little business.

And yet... something techies deep inside me keeps stirring. The need to create something shiny and new and the feeling I get when I say "I made this" is just indescribable. Thats why early this year I sold my fish farm and started an IT company... again. :P

I shall await a spoofed google.com with cyrilic o's instead of unicode o's and cackle with glee when people visit it

You realize they can use other materials as catalyst beside platinum as electrolyzers?

This April Fool's prank is soooooo old..

Does anyone remember the early 90's where everybody and his mom's cats have their own webpage with their profile, blood type, etc available on angelfire/tripod/geocities? Well, Facebook IS the new angelfire/tripod/geocities.

Social sites? I don't think so! The only thing you socialize with in FB are the buttons and the random add friends of friends who you don't know and don't care and will never actually socialize with. And then you show off to other people your 1,284 friends list, 95% of whom you most probably will never, ever socialize with.

And then you cry yourself to sleep at night because Zuckerberg sold your info to some data mining company.
