[This is part of the IWillTeachYouToBeRich Week of Discontent.] I’m so sick and tired of financial and business magazines that I could vomit. It’s absurd to see yet another “10 Stocks You Must Buy in 2007!” issue of a magazine.

So bigshot Wired reporter Fred Vogelstein landed what he thinks is a huge coup. While reporting a story on Microsoft, he received by accident a copy of Microsoft's PR prep notes on him -- some PR flack made a mistake and sent it to him by accident.

I like that- Apple is run by sales, Yahoo by marketing, and Google by engineers.

Don't be so quick to mock the non-engineering approach. Google develops 80+ products, 3 of which make money. If Google were looking at this like a VC, 3/80 isn't very good.

Now, Google innovates, Apple just makes things look pretty. Really- name a true innovation Apple made that wasn't just fine tuning an existing technology.

That's not amnesia! It's classic journalism technique. You have to build them up before you can take them down.

See Obama, Barack.
