	Phil's Blogservations Thursday, January 10, 2008 Posted by philgomes 10:48 PM What Price The Prank? Time Will Tell... Brian... Hey, man... You're a good dude... I remember when we used to correspond back when I was helping to (re)launch startups in Silicon Valley and you were an assistant editor at Wired. I even remember running into you at the airport on the way to CES in 2004. You had taken particular notice of my somewhat clunky iRiver iGP-100 MP3 player, the one that looked kind of like a blue-and-silver hunk of mountaineering gear with an LCD screen. Sorry we lost touch. Nice guy. Thoughtful. Always probing questions. Genuine interest in the subject matter. But... Sweet Buddha on a big buttered biscuit, do you have any idea what the potential liability is here? I hope no A/V consultants were fired over this. Or that gajillion-dollar deals were lost. Jeez... UPDATE: CES responds.

Hell, to be perfectly honest, even Phil disagrees with what he thinks sometimes. This site has virtually no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Clicking on a link doesn't automatically send a 1/2-cent donation to UNICEF. You can't buy, sell, auction, swap, find a date, win friends, influence people, cross the chasm, or decode the human genome using this site. You won't get free email. You won't win a PalmOne Treo or a Playstation2. This site will not end world hunger, foster peace in the Middle East, help you smell better, teach you how to swing dance, or move the global economy from petroleum to hydrogen fuels. You'll learn a lot about this site's master, though, which amounts to a haphazard collection of strange and useless facts that pretty much won't help you at all.
