Page joked with him: "Robert, I really didn't appreciate the shower photo." Page was, of course, referring to a picture Scoble posted of himself taking a shower with Google Glass alongside the caption "You thought I was kidding when I said I would never take them off." Well played, Page.
Yes, well played, Page.

aren't you into this shit?
if you think the non-reporting journalism/nepotism/credulity fest/circle jerk that orbits around y combinator, hacker news and techcrunch should not be treated with basically utter contempt then i don't know what to tell you man
― caek, Thursday, 16 May 2013 01:21 (ten years ago) link
i assume dy is talking about that, not technology in general
hm

yeah i doubt he's after the whole thing but still
i used to listen to this week in tech i know what im talking about

people shitting on tech just gets . . . something to me. i'm legitimately interest in this shit and spend plenty of time following it and i get that it's not cool or whatever but
― markers, Thursday, 16 May 2013 01:22 (ten years ago) link
silicon valley is def often pretty gross and frivolous (and occasionally brilliant obvs) but i feel like the appropriate response is more casual distain rather than the gonzo outrage of valleywag which is kinda really buying into the whole thing too much

markers its cool but its also a lot of navel gazing

it's not that it's not cool. i think the top tier stuff is legitimately very interesting, and sometimes even "cool". it's the hangers on, 90% of the journalists who cover this beat, and the armchair developer/typographer bloggers who are the problem.
― caek, Thursday, 16 May 2013 01:25 (ten years ago) link
i love technology and the internet and whatnot and think its legitimately important, but i dont think that at all contradicts the obvious observation that like techcrunch is a v stupid publication

true josh.valleywag (i.e. basically just sam biddle, right?) has really gone in at the deep end, but the stench had got so bit strong over the past year or two, and no one was saying anything (except the register, which is still the best, aside from its lack of boots on the ground in CA)
