A group of twenty or so tech elite were partying 1999-style in Cyprusthis last week, and posted a lip sync video of the Journey song “Don’t Stop Believing” a couple of days ago. Among the group were Brittany Bohnet of Google, Mike Hudack of Blip.tv, Dave Morin and Aaron Sittig of Facebook, Sam Lessin of Drop.io and Jessica Vascellaro, the Wall Street Journal’s Silicon Valley beat reporter.
Team Cyprus: Alcohol + Bad Judgement + Really Poor Timing
The video was released just as Silicon Valley really began falling apart and the UnParty began in earnest - eBay’s 10% layoffs, Google’s stock nosedive, Yahoo’s self destruction, VC’s bunkering down, etc. And more than a few people thought the ostentatious partying was a little, ahem, tasteless in light of the meltdown back home.
Now that video has been taken private, which is what it should have been marked as in the first place. But it’s too late - the video has spread to YouTube and other sites, and won’t be disappearing again. As I said yesterday, fair or not the video video will always be associated with the end of Web 2.0.

if web 3.0 is here i feel bad for it. web 4.0 here we go because web 3.0 has no chance with vc funding the lamest of sites who dont have the slightest clue of what PROFITS is.
The best way to get your post read is to reply to the first post.
I really don’t understand why anyone thinks a bunch of some 20-something kids having fun on vacation is tasteless. Though I don’t know for sure, I don’t think any of them got rich laundering crappy securities to unsuspecting investors. And I’m 100% sure they weren’t doing this on their employers dime or time.
If you’re trying to latch onto a poster child for the egregious behavior directly related to the financial meltdown, it’s not in Cyprus. It’s in New York. The tech industry wasn’t the cause, and a group of kids who happen to work in the tech industry and happen to be on vacation on their own time and money shouldn’t have anything to do with the market correction. To infer such is simply biased journalism.

Dave C. - very well said indeed, especially your final conclusion. The TechCrunch editors should know better. I wasn’t going to chime in on the “xxxxxfest”, but to see these guys get beat on for a completely nonsensical reason… Come on.
People are generally pissed off (afraid) and the first psychological response it to look around and quickly find someone/something to blame it on, which generates a quick but completely bogus “feel good” illusion.
In all seriousness, can anyone say with a straight face that there’s something wrong with young people having some fun on their vacation? Seriously?
This makes about as much sense as going off on some music video that came out in the past week or two.
And all this “while Rome burned” B.S. drama? yeah, it makes for great blog headlines and is sure to get lots of “yeah, they suck because they had fun at the wrong time” blog comments, but come on. It’s just pathetic.
This banking/economic/whatever meltdown hit all of us hard (including the guys and girls in this video!). Pointing fingers at one another - instead of looking for the guys actually pulling the strings on this whole mess - is pointless and does more harm than good.
There’s that old saying… “if you can’t say something nice”…
New Site For College Students: http://www.inkampus.com
love it. So what if they did the video. We need more people like this in tech.
There is no web 3.0
There was never a web 2.0. It’s ALL marketing.
We’re 1 new technology “term” away from being saved. AJAX? What’s next.
I have $10,000 on the table saying it won’t be from Microsoft. They’re not innovators.
Location based services were a let down so let’s come up with something else please. I am in the same industry as you guys, so let’s not hate here.
yes TYPICAL_BAY_AREA_DEVELOPER everyone already knew that, but it puts ur comment in a bad light if it is not relevant to the original comment, knobhead
Dave C. et al, you’re completely missing the point, its the timing that makes this video such an classic, not the fact that these guys are partying. they’re doing it at the exact time that the web industry (and all industries) are experiencing a severe meltdown.
Also, the song they chose couldn’t be more perfect, ‘don’t stop believing’ - they’re dancing about to it while some of their companies (facebook) have no business model, which is representative of the mindset of many web 2.0 startups. Forego a real business model, just get attention and we’ll figure it out later.
Listen to the lyrics of the song, It’s a classic and will go down in web history, “dont’ stop believing”;
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Man, it’s a classic video. It’s not about them partying, its about the timing and the choice of song.
Feldmans music video is better. This vid marks the end of “startups” as we know it. “Startins” are the future. When people and businesses assume there vertical postion with established players. We dont need another website. Ever. Who Knew?
LegendLocator.com- The Game Changers
I know man, they have money, they have the freedom of speech, they can make XXX videos if they want; why the hell should we care; why should anyone be pissed off about some rich kids making some stupid videos; what a waste of time! Get rid of those egos already for chrissake
I bet you feel so smart that no one else thought that up before you.
Michael,
You’re such a drama queen.
My god, Michael. This is what life’s about. God love each and every one of them! Love the song too.
Proves that life goes on. Anyway who cares? Tech elite? Never heard of any of them.
Yeah, seriously, I have no clue who any of these people are. Good for them on the vacation.
Give them a break, they’re just having some fun. Hell, I would have gone with them if they would have invited me.
Thats what the “tech elite” does for fun while on vacation? Wow, that’s pretty sad!
I’m sorry, I was expecting to see a video of the AIG associates spending $440,000 at a Californian resort one week after the bailout.
Instead I see some kids having fun at some empty beach house.
I agree. AIG party should have been “As Rome Burned, Team AIG Danced”. They contributed directly to the meltdown. But this? C’on!
Ditto. Come on, so they’re partying. How are they responsible for the crisis and whats so wrong with having some fun, even at a time when people (including the ones on the video) are losing money? You need to relax.
Party on, Web 2.0 entrepreneurs… Marketing guys might have overhyped your platforms and programmers might have come up with alternatives to your services but even if yours isn’t the best, it’s the most used anyways.
I doubt your success can be argued, or the fact that we all knew that the ride was going to end anyways, so i say make the best of it. After all, if you are not having fun, it’s not worth it.
Some words of advice for Web 3.0 entrepreneurs: OpenSource your stuff, create transparent API’s and reward your employees as you would like to be rewarded.
To VC’s? Please drop money on cool products!
To users in general: Privacy is key. Nobody gives away anything, free doesn’t exist, it’s all ad supported. Stop sending Powerpoint blessings and jokes… Put them online and point us there (ok this was offtopic, but maybe they can catch up this time).
great video - fun - love it.
good god michael - are you burnt out or what?
or are you just pissed you weren’t invited?
love techcrunch but your rant on this one is silly
Wow Mike - fucking get over it. They’re partying and enjoying life and not letting the economy and market hold them back. Grow some and live a little.
Not sure if it’s the end of web 2.0 as you keep saying, but keep preaching it.
Or maybe they’re partying for every kid that picked on them for studying. Who cares? Yea, most of the people here are right. They did that for headlines. They are not immune to the impacts of the economy. If the dollar crashes..all their dollars aren’t going to get them anymore bread and water than the rest of us. It’s the dollar that’s in trouble… not supplies. And believe me.. to be where they are.. they’re smarter than most of you and realize this. So for them to party in light of this knowledge says a lot about them and why they are where they are. When you read the headlines and you see the video, yea, your first reaction is to be like..oh shame on them but really.. after having thought about it..that’s what I’ve come to.- Morgan B.
This site is now unbookmarked
what a fantastic video, screw the begrudgers
Why are they all white?
they are tech bloggers idk why
White western civilization is over in general. Look at the fertility rates in the Western countries- all below population replacement. Too rich.
are you kidding ? they are n’t white …they are tech guys! ok you are talking about skin color ..yeah am sure now they are all sun bronze
This party screams “we’re too rich to hang out with black people” - cheeky f*ckers.
as opposed to: we’re too poor to hang out with back people??
Oh please…
Why does it matter ?
why are all of the chicks no fat? Hey, I’m not complaining….
LOL… what a bunch of fools. Wish I could short all of their startup companies because they’re so dumb (shorting google and NewsCorp is kinda insane :D)
Good post Michael!
Yeah it’s insane… cos they are not going to suffer as much as other more exposed and volatile parts of the the Web2 industry…. so maybe they are entitled to party if they want?
Who cares, what because the stock market goes down people are not allowed to have fun and enjoy life? Would you rather they post a video of them blowing their brains out. Even with the sad state of the economy our lives are a million times better than 90% of the people in the world. Go to China, go Jamaica, go to Africa and see the poverty. Even our worst day is better than most peoples best day. Sing, dance and have fun. that is what life is about.
Couldn’t agree more with you Gebadia… Michael what’s gotten into you? You must have lost a sh*t load of money in the market huh??? People are busting their a$$ year round and they shouldn’t have to feel bad for taking some time off to have fun
Life is about producing children and working to enable that, Gebaldia. Read Charles Darwin.
Nobody likes to be on the outside looking in.
what an f’in embarassment.
So I clicked to see unrepentant, ostentatious, oligarchic partying and I get a handful of people hanging around a house lipsyncing. I want my money back.
Seems the sector is hard up for a scape-goat. (I really wanted to say “horny” but apparently there are a lot of virgin sensibilities around.)
Oh thank god, does this mean we no longer have to deal with or see these idiots who think they are far more important (and apparently far more attractive) than they really are?
Yay for companies who actually sell stuff, you know for like money
1999 called and it wants its parties back.
Garbage. This is exactly why these tech co’s are nosediving… you got a bunch of worthless — but lucky on timing — idiots enjoying shareholders money. En joy it while you can, Wal-Mart is expanding and is hiring.
that trip was probably planned during the spring or summer, not last week.
show me the genius who last spring/summer who planned “to be extra humble in september”
tech’s not nosediving. the economic sector is nosediving this time. tech is simply collateral damage.
What’s the big deal? Why is this a disgrace? They just seem like people having fun.
You’d have to be some sort of puritaqn to think that this is in any way a disgrace or bad behaviour.
Dougal
Exactly. Michael, you’re crucifying these people for what is essentially a private video, that has nothing to do with whether or not Silicon Valley is falling apart. Their video may be cheesy, but you’re the drama queen here.
Keep on rockin web 2.0
Keep on rockin young movers.
Keep on rockin old guys that keep the young guy’s rockin!
Gotta love it!!!
Wow.. the only crime committed here was that’s guys tighty shorts, how gay.
Great! let’s keep this shit thing positive.
Thanks M.A.
i’m stoked!!!
funny lol
Point, Arrington.
“Silicon Valley really began falling apart “????????? MA “grumpy geezer, fool and a “Chicken Little!” Right on!!! Lighten up. man… go outside and make an effort to become a semi-human entity! Get some beers and a girl!!!
You suck!!!
Ah yes, another homosexual party house on hidden pirate island… aka Cyprus.
The bubble isn’t in technology its in the whole F***ing world. Come on people, the fact that this whole post is on TC is stupid.
How sweet - even the little http://www.hatebook.org gets a little honour!
That was hilarious
haha thanks for posting that video michael, made me laugh
I love how 98% of the replies here completely miss the point. It must be Free Retard sandwich day down in the cafeterias all around SI.
For those of you out there that are on the “OMG…. who really Cares. I mean, whatevs, they’re just blowing off some steam. Give em a break, Mike” side of the fence–I think you need to wake up and smell the Kevin Roses.
In case you haven’t seen the news flash on your Facebook or Twitter feeds, the economy as a whole is taking a nose dive. Call me crazy, but i can pretty much assure you that while you may not “care” about this video–there are people who do. Chief among them, will be the ones losing (or that have already lost) their jobs inside the companies these kids have started.
Contrary to popular belief, we’re not simply talking about a few kids having fun on their “time off”. We’re talking about a bunch of kids who are out there screwing around making poorly shot video’s while the rest of the world is being bent over by Wall Street. Bottom line is; these jokers shouldn’t even be ON vacation. Instead, their asses should be parked behind their swanky little desks humming this track while they bust their ass to come up with a model to make some money.
Good Riddance 2.0
This is either a very sarcastic post or you are a /retard/, I personally think it’s the latter.
I’m sure you are the authority on what all of the people in the video should do in their free time, did they forget to ask for your permission? What are you doing to help economy?
Go back to writing your blog and posting comments on TechCrunch, kiddo. You may listen to the track while your busting your ass, I’m being nice today.
@ Aleksey “The Comment Troller” Korzun - is there a point some where in your reply?? If so, being the “retard” i am, i seemed to have missed it. Just as you obviously missed mine.
what a load of rubbish, people having fun is what the world needs right now, screw those parasites on wall street
I love this. young people having a great time and enjoying life on their time off while old grouchy guys putting them down.
Lim, i am old and these guy’s are now my world and will keep me going. More power to-m…
I totally don’t get what the big deal is Mike.
A) It’s just a group of people getting creative together.
B) It’s actually a pretty cool “one shot” video.
C) What’s wrong with a little optimism. “Don’t Stop Believin’”
Is everybody supposed to just sit around and be miserable?
I understand what you’re saying about the economy being what it is, bad taste, web 1.0 flashbacks, etc but . . . I don’t know. I actually enjoyed the video quite a bit.
Very poor judgment. Very Poor timing. At least you work for yourself Michael! Jessica is the most senior reporter for WSJ, yes the Journal, not the Inquirer. Took over Kevin’s Google beat in Silicon Valley, from New York. Too bad, bet when she’s back stateside, she’ll be sent a-packing. Best of luck on making money on videos on YouTube. What’s worse is this is a business trip- paid for by badly managed internet companies and one media company.
It’s all about timing. 1999 in 1997 was OK. The curve looked up. But right now, with all the VC’s asking for a 50-70% RIF before end of year. Not cool. Publishers will suffer as will authors. We’re all Ad supported. Buckle up, make sure you have cash to cover the trip they just made.
Their cash. Their fun. Should they be shedding tears for dumb heads who lost and ventured out without a plan in the longterm or short?
They made hay while sun shined.
so the wsj paid for this trip? is that ethical?
The angst and vitriol expressed in reaction to this video are positively hilarious.
Also, this isn’t a purely tech bubble popping like last time, so I’m not sure what the inclusion of that video is alluding to.
I agree, honestly I think it’s posts like this that create ‘tech bubble’ hype.
Exactly….it’s not tech that contributed to Wall Street crashing. I really don’t see what all the fuss is about. Are general public laying off leading their usual lives: living in over-priced house, driving over-priced cars, indulging in vacations? Most people are not. The only difference is, these vacationers, who happen to be techies, made a video public instead of private. A mistake made into an uproar. Really, people, get a grip.
Who knows the address to that house? Or the renting company?
I’m going.
I thought the girls’ matching swimsuits were a nice touch.
It was a great touch. For the first half of the video, I was confused if it was the same girl or a different girl.
Specially when she swam from one side of the swimming pool to the other… probably 2 girls there, but that would mean I’d have to watch again.
That was the best part. Perfect symbolism to the sheepishness of females in the Bay Area.
No identity of their own, not a one of them thinks different from the other. The only that makes them different is the domain name of the arrogant douchebag they are attached to that offer them one dysfunctional relationship after the other.
Too short-sighted in living up life to realize the important things in life are slowly passing them by in one launch party after another.
Sad.
Talk about making a mountain from a molehill. A bunch of people make a cool video while on vacation. Oh no! The World has come to an end!
Don’t stop believing, This video is fucking awesome, I’m only bummed I wasn’t invited
When in doubt, throw a party.
Peace.
You know who these people were in high school, right? Were you a part of that crowd? If not, no party for you!
I like their party attitude, and I guess I’m just jealous I wasn’t in Cyprus this week partying my ass off no excuses.
Well said
About Wayne and the party and all…
Not everybody has the 99% work 1% outside-work life of Zuckerberg, Bill Gates or Michael Arrington. I say that as 99% worker-type myself.
Even Bill Gates plays Bridge. I think everybody wastes a little time somewhere.
That said, seeing this video gives me the impression there is a higher partying / work ratio going on inside Facebook than I had previously thought, and in a way which makes their position and trajectory seem less than air-tight. If other companies think similarly, I would guess it could possibly hurt future valuations.
But there’s ultimately more to life than work, even if that isn’t the current situation for most leaders of startup internet companies.
Yeah, and it was only in a waterside house in Cyprus. I mean, how snobby can people be to have a problem with that?
Hey, I think you’re all missing the two most important points:
1) If they’re all such smart, wired in members of the new generation of high tech Elite, why the heck did they use a lame tune by an OLD band?
2) The video is sure to ignite another “Ginger or Mary Ann” (times about
debate for both genders. (C’mon, you know you were thinking that watching the video ….).
I stay away from BizDev hoes. It’s just one of those things.
Yes, given the meltdown and the somber mood across the valley, and this nation for that matter, this video definitely should have been made private. A major “oops” moment. And you’re right, once it’s out there, it’s too late to take it back.
But you gotta appreciate that they paid homage to Robert Altman’s opening scene in The Player, which paid homage to Hitchcock’s Rope. But it’s too bad that they’re timing sucks! They were probably all still in middle school when we were partying it up back in 1999 before the first bubble popped. And they were either in diapers or weren’t even born when Bret Easton Ellis’ wrote “Less Than Zero.” That video is Less Than Zero minus the drugs.
But thanks for sharing it with us all Mike! And have fun in London and Hawaii. Yes, no video cameras while partying like a rock star! Not that you’re gonna party like a rock star.
Aloha!
The “plan séquence” or single shot homage to SIr Alfred seems to be trendy. Watch this very nicely done “University Lipdub” video made by students in Germany. Enough said on the other matters…
University Lipdub (HS Furtwangen) from DASKAjA on Vimeo.
@Marc Thanks for sharing! I absolutely loved the “University Lipdub” video. What a great video. It was well shot and choreographed. I particularly liked the camera work where they moved from one floor down to the next with such fluidness. Great work. And a lot of fun.
Cheers!
g-e-t a l-i-f-e
echo comment … very cool one shot video …. clearly could have used a bit more choreography at the end though.
As far as I can tell using this as an example: http://www.paphosvillas.com/vi.....php?pid=22
The total cost for the villa was about $3600 for 2 weeks. Split about 15 ways … sounds like a very modest vacation rental to me.
Mike — slow-w-w-w news day?
Sno-o-o-o-o-o-re
Michael.. A bunch of young people sharing a house and having some fun. Dude, you must have amnesia. Stop writing posts 24/7 and get a life. I would be shocked if some of these people don’t work their asses off when they are back on the job. The only negative to the video - I couldn’t be there. Work hard, play hard. What’s wrong with that message! The bubbles bursting (again). What would you rather see these kids doing, splitting firewood while humming east German folk songs?
I would do every one of those girls.
I don’t give a damn if web 2.0 is ending or not… We just need to keep up with the pace… whether it’s web 3.0 or 4.0
Oh piss off. Looks like they’re having a great time and its a fun video.
So many antisocial idiots in these comments - that’s why you were not invited.
That video was priceless… made my day… Don’t stop believing people… Never stop…
Thanks TechCruch… you made me smile…
I agree their timing was poor and I don’t quite get what they tried to achieve with posting the video public anyways - even at the best of times, boasting that you’re having a great time on VC money never (or at least shouldn’t) resonates well (Was it really VC money that they bought the beer with?).
But on the other side they’re a bit unlucky to take all the flack now. I’ve heard quite a few ‘respected entrepreneurs’ being adamant that there is no bubble going on just six weeks ago.
Serious, did anyone doubt that the party (not the one on the video) was going to end at some point? The video guys just doubted a little less and a little longer then many others I know.
Moving on… how about celebrating those who build great products and exciting technology with their own money, blood sweat and tears? There are so many that deserve recognition and never had a chance when all the ‘big boys’ where making so much noise with their parties.
Hint: A few of them will pull something off that will make them and their friends insanely rich and famous. Then everyone else starts doing what they did, eventually the VC’s will come out of hibernation and spill a few billion (around 2011) and there we go again …
I’ll be back! (with my German accent)
Right. They should have anticipated the market downturn and become appropriately miserable.
*chuckle*
Spice Girl Wannabes….
Startupfailures.com is back!
In the midst of 1000 pt swing on Wall Street, Palin found to have abused her power, the campaign in Afghanistan looking ?what? just plain dismal, I have to ask … isn’t this kerfuffle testament to techies’ self-involvement?
I wonder how much their “extravagance” really cost.
*shrug*
Narcissism in reverse.
Get over your precious selves.
This die-hard leftie sez, who f’n cares.
*file under: bigger fish to fry*
f. u.
I agree with @Tim Coyne and some others to look at the positive aspect of the video, creativity, and positive energy. Perhaps their video came at just the “right time” with everyone looking across the US and other places looking at the glass 1/2 empty.
Sounds like they were on their own, well deserved vacation at their own expense. Consider that AIG is spending money to send their exec sales team to the Ritz Carlton, just after using tax payer dollars for bailout. I see no problem with this techie groups self-funded getaway.
I simply see in this video — people that have the positive outlook on life and are working in technologies that are shaping the new tomorrow and the new digital economy. Maybe the song is old, but the message of “Don’t stopping believing” is something to consider - there are bigger brick walls in the way now - but it is folks like these with creativity, talent and smarts that will help drive our future.
Remember this mess was not caused by by startups, not by Silicon Valley, and not by the folks in the video - but caused by the gov’t and wall street.
I want to see the video of Wall St. execs lip syncing on a poolside deck.
I couldn’t agree more.
I wonder how many of these “couples” will be together in 6mo. This kinda press can’t be good for a relationship. Brittany’s relationship status goes to single in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
As I said yesterday, fair or not the video video will always be associated with the end of Web 2.0.
And on the 8th day our god of geek gossip rested.
Team Cyprus Move?
All your base are belong to us.
Negative asshole! Young minds, start-ups and innovation, along with, wisdom,risk capital from old guy’s will prevail…
What, can’t people get together with their friends to do fun, silly video projects? It’s naive to read into it as a statement on these people’s attitudes of the industry. They’re having fun lip syncing, not sitting at desks talking about their businesses or investors.
If you ask me, it looks like TechCrunch is trying very hard to “brand” this video as a moment in tech history: the end of 2.0. That’s going to happen when it happens, not when a blog calls it.
The future looks bright. This isn’t AIG or LemonBro’s. After the worse week ever on Wall Street/the markets… it’s good to see the energy.
Hopefully none of these people work for Acorn or the Banking Committe of Fannie or Freddie…
They work in the space that will lead next week!!
The West is the Best! (I’m from NJ who moved to the Bay Area in 2000. East Coast Culture is just lacking and will not be able to pull us out of this resession.)
I am very surprised that these young folks appreciate this awesome song!
Freebird!!
Let’s innovate and have fun!
Who cares? Life goes on. People still fall in love, create and enjoy meaningful relationships. Lack of money, falling stock values nor a plateaued web 2.0 doesn’t change that. The world is not ending and stocks/assets will appreciate overtime. And the web will be much bigger than it is now. Michael quit being a grumpy geezer, fool and a “Chicken Little!”
Ditto — “Silicon Valley really began falling apart “????????? MA “grumpy geezer, fool and a “Chicken Little!” Right on!!! Lighten up. man… go outside and make an effort to become a semi-human entity! Get some beers and a girl!!!
You suck!!!
Hmmm…Michael you really might be on to something afterall! This is just like 2000. Let’s see…
2000 - The Industry Standard (RIP)
2008 - Techcrunch (RIP ???)
Sorry man, but if you keep posting this stuff that’s what’s going to happen.
Gee Michael, lighten up. You can be a real freakin cry baby sometimes…
Arrington is like am immature punk on this one.
Tasteless? Bullshit! These are still really good times for many us; don’t rain on the parade.
Looks like they were having a lot of fun. If I were young & single, I’d have loved to be there with them? How is this an embarrassment? Please stick to writing about real news like startups & cool products.
This was a waste of time (except it is actually fun video).
Funny vid…but maybe they should take some “lipdub-lessons” by these students:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVRrjxtm9Pk
A gallon of gas is cheaper this week then last, I own no stock, my house has never gained nor lost value over the last 10 years. Times of plenty, only weak business plans have to worry… Great blog posting, good comments, this is why your business plan makes sense, plenty of po’d readers on this ride down. Cheers, and hope everyone in the video enjoyed the weather, pretty crappy fall over here.
Interesting that the song is the same one that was used in the Soprano’s series ender. The end of many Web20 companies will be just as abrupt as that famous ending.
Ok, enough. Can someone please tell me where to get one of those swimsuits?
i’ve been to cyprus a few times and always wondered who the spare tools wearing linen shirts in the blazing heat during the day were. question answered.
Dave C. said all that had to be said in the 3rd reply. Nuff said.
I agree with the other comments wondering what the big deal is. I think the video was a little cheesy (to use a 1999 word), but I don’t see the reckless or over the top partying. Obviously this was an expensive trip, but it’s a vacation with a goofy video.
There’s plenty of other stuff to worry about now!
The cheesiness was intentional.
maybe it’s the alcohol, but that party looks awesome.
what are they supposed to do? stay at home at night and cry for us poor suckers?
oh, and if you think it’s bad that there’s someone from the WSJ there that covers SV tech, why don’t you ask your doctor about how he/she decides on what medication/pacemaker/stent/ICD to give you, or ask how do all the rich kids at rich high schools get into the best colleges?
it’s america, everything’s for sale!
whether you choose to believe it or not…sad face.
placements in press is for sale? how?
