Many dead pool startups & angry posters want to attack Michael Arrington. Don't ask me why. But I don't know why. I think trolls hated his guts... not because success and frame. Something else worst than libel attacks & bully startup attacks. If you type michael arrington sucks on google. you get 21,000. There's alot of anti-techcrunchers...Uncov is an example anti-techcrunch. Some people don't like Michael Arrington. Not me. I'm just fan of techcrunch. Smart Trolls don’t attack Duncan & Erik.

The fighter pilot escort in actually follows the heat signature from Rudolph's nose. Apparently, it is THE ONLY WAY to find Santa because his sleigh is so fast! Thanks for letting everyone else in on the secret of following him on the magical night. Merry Christmas, and happy watching. Wow, I heard a radio interview with the fellows from NORAD today.
