I saw all those little ribbon things. Goldman (CNBC) had one.
They kind of reminded me of something you'd use for a dog show. (Not that i'd know - I'm not that Gay)
Still, even if I was offered one I think I would have passed, could've thrown off my whole out-fit ;-P

You can get those VIP ribbons from any well-stocked office supply store. I'm just sayin'.

I saw Mossberg in the Four Seasons Carlsbad elevator for the All Things D conference.

It was just the two of us. I had my one and only chance to ask him, "Please disclose your relationship with Apple. Also, please please please refrain from saying Macs are virus proof... idiot."

Alas, my chance came and went with a couple of blips of the elevator. I did say "how are you doin'" and he replied, "fine, thanks."

Having dealt with Mossberg at another conference, I can confirm that he firmly believes he is a VIP who can get away with being a giant dick. Probably because he can.

anyone can start a blog and be read by a resonable audience, does it make you a journalist ?
All this generalisation of the VIPness, going backstage, it's a contradiction.
Excellence needs selection, nobody is equal anyway.

also Steven Levy from Newsweek should lose weight.

Note to the guy walking around with my badge on: You owe the NY Times 1200 words, Slate wants a rewrite, and don't miss your two scheduled briefings for PC World, at which you're expected to take copious notes and relate your week of hands-on testing. Oh, and Owen's pissed that you're not posting more. Step it up, son.

Also, Jordan keeps messaging "yt" because he probably lost the key to your condo. After you let him in, he'll complain that you think you're special. Have fun.
