ndouglas · 03/27/06 06:48PMVindicated: Bill Gross still broke
ndouglas · 03/21/06 06:39PMIdealab CEO Bill Gross scored board approval to make shareholders take over his $50 million personal loan. If shareholders approve, Bill will pay back the cash over the next four years (or find a new sucker to buy the loan). The jet's sold, the Ferrari's sold, but Bill must have some tchotchkes left to make a $50-mil yard sale.
Stefan Eriksson's crash — he taped it
ndouglas · 03/16/06 11:20PMToo golden — Stefan Eriksson (the Gizmondo exec who ripped his Ferrari apart in L.A.) might have taped the crash from inside the car. Who knows what it'd look like — cops haven't found the alleged video yet. But as a consolation prize, the L.A. Times (who's digging this story as much as I am) shares this simulation (opens in a media player) of the crash. Man, "crash the rare Enzo" would have made a great Gizmondo game — if Gizmondo's console hadn't been such a car wreck itself.
San Francisco needs more billionaires
ndouglas · 03/10/06 10:39AMIt's like a party with an open candy store: Forbes published its whopping 793-member billionaire list, with all the maps, photos, and self-congratulatory interviews such an event requires. Above is a map of billionaires in the U.S. (the world is viewable here but why do you care about anything outside the Valley), which shows San Francisco as third behind New York and L.A. That's no good.
Gizmondo ex-exec was a cop. Kinda. Not really.

ndouglas · 02/07/06 03:08PMLarry and Sergey's credit denied
ndouglas · 02/04/06 06:12PMLarry Page and Sergey Brin got their credit card denied at an Ipanema restaurant this week. The Google boys had to pull out another card when their first choice couldn't pay a $50 meal charge. These guys just made over $2 billion from a stock sale, but they couldn't pay off the Visa? Maybe Larry Ellison's accountant could help them out or write them a note now and then.
