| Lance And Oprah Sittin' In A Tree Posted: 17 Jan 2013 10:04 PM PST Hubris can do strange things to people. Most dangerous, you start to believe your own bullshit. It is not easy for me to imagine the mind of a man who would sue an organization for libel and defamation, collect money, all the while fully cognizant their claims were accurate. It is the mind of a person with a conscience so sedated with narcissism that morality and right from wrong is rendered subordinate to self. The Sunday Times of London is seeking recovery of $500,000 paid to Lance Armstrong plus attorney fees and interest and if a pocket of justice exists in our ambivalent world, they will be remunerated in full. |

| Seed and Later Investments for Startups are Booming Posted: 17 Jan 2013 09:28 PM PST The number of startups getting seed funding in 2012 jumped by 65% over the previous year to a total of 1749, according to a recent report by CB Insights. "Seed investments" are early stage financings (typically less than $1.5 million) made by either Angels or venture capitalists, or both. This is great evidence that the recession drag on funding new startups is behind us. |
| China's Economy Grew Faster Last Quarter, Notching Up 7.8% Annual Gain Posted: 17 Jan 2013 08:56 PM PST China said Friday that its economy ended 2012 on a stronger note with 7.9% growth in the final quarter. This matched or beat analysts' expectations and lifted full-year growth to 7.8%, above the official forecast. The quarterly pick-up in growth was the first in two years after government stimulus spending spiked growth in 2009-10. The quarterly data supports other indicators of accelerating industrial output and stronger demand for goods, leading some to predict that China has turned a corner. This has broad implications for the world economy, which sagged last year and still face headwinds in Europe and North America. Japan recently unveiled its own stimulus plans that could support exporters in Asia, including China. That said, China's 2012 economic growth was the lowest in 13 years and economists don't expect a sharp acceleration this year. Most banks have predicted full-year growth of 8% or so. That's positively euphoric in comparison to Western economies, but China has to keep generating huge gains because the fruits are distributed so unequally. Shares in Shanghai rose 0.5% Friday morning. |

| Final Fantasy All the Bravest: A DLC-Laden Abomination? Posted: 17 Jan 2013 07:52 PM PST Square Enix's Final Fantasy All the Bravest for iOS is crafted from the stuff dreams are made of. The concept is simple - Characters, classes, bosses, music, and backdrops from the Final Fantasy universe in a fast-paced combat soiree mashup. The combat is eye candy, the pixels are perfect, and the game evokes a sense of nostalgia that even a franchise neophyte can enjoy. Everyone attacks, there's no thinking or planning, just tap (or in this case, run your finger across a row) each character as they come off cooldown and let them cut loose with familiar abilities from ages past. So where do things go wrong? The devil is in the DLC. |
