Only Tech Reporters Care About CES
Nearly every major online publication (and print for that matter) are sending at least one reporter to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) – and no one, except those reporters, actually cares what comes out of the show. It’s all the same –…
The Great Media Bloodbath of 2014
5/12/14 UPDATE: AT&T to acquire DirecTV! Lock the doors – it’s scary out there. 2/12/14 UPDATE: Holy Crap, 2014 just got a whole lot uglier (and it was already hideous) with the announcement of Comcast acquiring Time Warner Cable! ORIGINAL POST: It’s coming. Holy shit…

2013: Endgame For Moguls
Old Hollywood just got another year older and closer to death. In fact, it’s getting harder and harder for Old Hollywood to get out of bed in the morning. Food doesn’t taste as good. Hangovers are a daily occurrence. In short, Old Hollywood is not…
