Shifted Librarian: "I understand that Sony is too scared to put an Ethernet port or embedded WiFi in this thing (every other record label would probably line up to sue them), but it's short-sighted because no one is really going to buy this paperweight. Why would I when I don't even buy CDs anymore?"  Sam Gentile: "For the last 7 months, I have had the priviledge of working for Jack Ozzie and with some very bright people at Groove Networks in creating a full design add-in, the Groove Toolkit for Microsoft Visual Studio.NET, that will allow the .NET developer to create fully collaborative and peer-to-peer applications quickly and easily inside of VS.NET. You will be able to freely download this toolkit in a couple of weeks!" Two years ago on this day I recounted a phone conversation with Gene Kan about business models for peer-to-peer apps. He was a smart young man. People have all kinds of theories about why he shot himself, I don't think it had anything to do with disappointment. Lots of people go through that, no one gets through life without lots of disappointment (no one gets through a day without lots of disappointment). Depression is a disorder. Sometimes when the chemicals in your bloodstream are wrong they make you feel worthless. When that happens it can be hard to stay in the game, remembering that such feelings often pass, pretty quickly. At age 25, lots of people don't know that. It's a tough time of life. But I guess every age has its unique challenges. |
