Idiotic Black Dude on Korean Bus Misunderstanding Elderly Man
From Adrian H.: "Wow. Infuriating. An elderly man told a black man on a Korean bus 'Neega yohgee anjuh' - which means, 'You can sit here.' The guy understood it as another N word. I wish he spoke Korean, or someone on that bus spoke English. Or that someone actually stepped in instead of watching it all go down. But Koreans are perennial bystanders. Miscommunication & misunderstanding account for a whole lot of the world's problems."

Vidquik Launching at DEMO! Sept.12th-14th
I'm pretty excited to post that we’re launching our beta at DEMO!
They had over 1,000 companies apply for this session and accepted approximately 5%. Our team believed DEMO was the best fit for Vidquik since the conference is owned by IDG whose publications (200 magazines and newspapers and 460 websites including Computer World, Mac World, and PC World) include our target markets of SMBs and tech influencers within corporate walls. Also DEMO has a rich history of companies such as Palm, Tivo, ETrade, Salesforce.com, and others launching at the conference.
We were aware of the criticism of DEMO, but some of that is hype by competitors (i.e. they don't make you buy extra tickets) and our team thought the benefits outweighed the negatives, which is primarily cost vs. other launch conferences.
Now instead of launching our beta at the end of August, it will be pushed back to September 12th-14th. See you then!

USA Inc. from KPCB
"USA Inc.is a non-partisan report that looks at the U.S. federal government (and its financials) as if it were a business. Mary Meeker, partner at KPCB and former financial analyst at Morgan Stanley, created and compiled the report with the goal of informing the discussion about our financial situation and outlook. USA Inc. examines the country’s income statement and balance sheet, aiming to interpret the underlying data and facts, and illustrate patterns and trends in easy-to-understand ways. The report also analyzes the drivers of federal revenue and the history of expense growth, and discusses basic scenarios for how revenue and expense growth might change to help America move toward positive cash flow."
