Does anyone remember YAP!COM?

I detest Hedley!

Have him arrested for trespassing, Mike.

Pretty amazing how this syncs up with this morning’s headlines … when was this first published? 20 years ago?

OT hive brain help? Is anyone else missing the little dealies that ran down on the side of the strip you could click, and tallied all the “hearts” and “comments”? Did GC do away with that, or is my new ad-blocker playing fast and loose with the page? TIA for any wisdom offered.

Business “overture,” huh? That reminds me of “enhanced” interrogation, “robust” tax cuts, financial “products,” etc. The use of seemingly innocuous words to gloss over base behavior.

Seems to me that as a reporter for AOL-Time Warner-CNN-Yap!Com, Roland is in a perfect position to answer his own question.

Yeah, that AOL/Time Warner merger did wonders….

Hi, I’m Nigel Scrum of the NEW YORK POST.I broke in.Can I ask you some questions?

Roland was still semi-normal when this was published.

If MS reverse-engineered Mikim’s product, would that not be actionable as patent infringement?

It’s Roland Hedley Trademark with a cautionary tale: don’t become a hack reporter.

Overture (noun): an orchestral piece at the beginning of an opera, suite, play, oratorio, or other extended composition.

American way

I guess the next thing will be all the AI startups merge into one giant behemoth to rule all mankind

Survival of the greediest. It has permanently kinked the nature of the tech sector for the worst. See any tech billionaire.

Duke would have either taken off in the reporter’s car, or filled the front door with bullet holes by now!!!!!!!!
