      • Owen Thomas wrote Hasn't YouTube always seemed too good to be true — all those video clips, for free? We must be getting away with something. That's why rumors about a new YouTube virus have spread so far, so fast.

      • Owen Thomas wrote The best place to work in America is becoming like every other big corporation. Google, at its heart an overgrown advertising agency, is most famous for its lavish perks. Now those are disappearing.

      • Owen Thomas wrote How sad that no one convincing has stepped up to run Yahoo! Pursued then spurned by Microsoft, the company is looking to replace founder Jerry Yang. Mike Murdock, a disabled Navy veteran, has raised his hand. The name sounded familiar.

      • Owen Thomas wrote It's the last thing cash-strapped banks need right now: Holders of credit and debit cards are reporting an epidemic of unauthorized charges on their bills. It could be the sign of a massive card-fraud operation in the making. A company

      • Owen Thomas wrote Jason Calacanis, the mop-haired founder of Mahalo, an overfunded Web directory, is musing on Twitter about "tickers and rallies past" — a Proustian substitution of stock markets for madeleines. But what, exactly, does he have to be nostalgic for?

      Wrapitup on Nov 21, 2008

      Hi Owen,

      In this post, [valleywag.com] someone named Shadowlayer ([valleywag.com])left this message:

      "Anyway, at least now we know how to kill indians."

      I would appreciate it if you weighed in, especially considering that you follow this creepy, racist commenter and he has a star.

      Thanks

      Excellent writing. Thanks for keeping it entertaining.

      My overlords at Gawker Media think I need yet another inbox. I disagree. Email was working just fine. If you leave a message for me here, I probably won't see it. But go ahead anyway, I hear it's the future!
