The Brutal, Blood-Red Remains (http://www.subtraction.com/)
“The Dow Jones fell a dizzy 436 points, while the NASDAQ fell below the
psychologically frightening 2000 mark. A friend of mine, using MapStation
from SmartMoney, sent me this visualization of what happened today with the
NASDAQ. Red indicates equities that lost ground today. The one green bar is
Compuware (CPWR), who must have cut a deal with the devil or something.”

“Now I have never, ever been accused of being a Pollyanna, and Yahoo’s
announcement is certainly not very comforting for companies that are building
businesses on the Net. But I have to say that the Merc’s apocalyptic
characterization of the situation is more than a little hysterical.”

Business Week: Google’s Larry Page: Good Ideas Still Get Funded. (tomalak.org)
“But you don’t need a huge company, just a computer and a part-time person. So
you don’t need to have a 100-person company to develop that idea. You can do
it in your spare time, you can really work on ideas and see if they take
