SkypeJournal has a rather interesting account of some of the latest actions from Skype, and its possible they may be a target next. I honestly thought that under the ever improving reign of Skype GM Henry Gomez, a person well versed in public relations, crisis communications and overall how to keep things on good terms … Read more
I’m in Santa Barbara, which like Palm Springs is the playground of the rich and famous, especially in the ritzy enclave of Montecito, just to the south. Here we are, in a $325 a night hotel in downtown Santa Barbara, just blocks from pal Doug Margerum’s soon to be sold Wine Cask and the cell … Read more

Paul Kapustka brings up a very interesting story about what on the surface looks like editorial censorship by the Wall Street Journal.
