dick rowe come to mind?
In 1996, two Stanford PhD students approached Jerry Yang, the co-founder and chief executive of Yahoo, to explain that they had developed a search engine that was even better than Yahoo's own at finding stuff on the web: the most relevant results appeared on the front page. Yang explained patiently that Yahoo didn't really want a better search engine – it made its money from display ads, so the more pages people went through, the more ads it could sell.
Yes, the PhD students were Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and their search engine would become Google.

I used to be a big Costello fan, but now I think it's girl music. In other twat news: Chubby Checker awaits reward for life of twists"I have only one regret in my whole life," he says. "This is my greatest regret - that my music is not being played and more people aren't seeing Chubby Checker. That's very painful for me. Many nights I have tears in my eyes about that.Sheesh......take it like a man Chubsy Ubsey! |

Little known fact: your boy SK's first live show ever was Mr. Chubward Checker at Ontario Place, Toronto in 1986. It was fab!
(I think. I was more mesmerized by the sounds coming from the blue jays game across the street at exhibition place. "Now batting for the blue jays, the right fielder, number 29...Jesse Barfield!")

A new music award has been presented in Liverpool to highlight the city's thriving music scene and prove there is more to Liverpool than The Beatles.
The inaugural Get Into This Award, named after a music blog run by writer Peter Guy, went to the delicate and hypnotic four-piece band Loved Ones.
The award has been dubbed the "Scouse Mercury" after the Mercury Music Prize.
Guy has said the spirit of The Beatles "hovers over Liverpool like a mouldy Pot Noodle" and the city must move on.
"The stench is still sticking around," he said of the Pot Noodle comment before Friday's ceremony.
Fifty years after their formation, it is still The Beatles who are the most closely associated with Liverpool's musical identity in the eyes of the world.
The 12 nominees for the Get Into This Award ranged from rapper Bang On to fast-rising guitar pop group Outfit and experimentalists Ex-Easter Island Head, who make music by hitting guitars with percussion mallets.
Guy, who writes for the Liverpool Echo and Post, said he "absolutely adores" The Beatles but they have "lost all relevance" for the current crop of music-makers.
"We need to move forward and keep things going. That's what art's all about, it's about creativity, it's about things that are new," he said.
"Why would we want to feed off the magic that Lennon, McCartney, Ringo and George created all those years ago? We want to create something that's fresh and alive and find the next Beatles."
The city has been enjoying a musical renaissance for five years, centred around the gig venue and performance space The Kazimier, he said, adding: "The music scene, in my opinion, is second to none in the UK."
The award winners were chosen by a nine-strong panel including writers from The Guardian newspaper and NME, Vice and Waxxx magazines.

"they're great, unbelievable and they look totally cool"
dave grohl - everytime he opens his mouth its some variation of this statement and now he's jumping on the strypes bandwagon.
if you think some of the elder statesmen of rock are kinda dorks now, just think what it will be like in another 10 years
