SoftBank Group Corp.’s Vision Fund has agreed to invest $300 million in Wag Labs Inc., a startup that uses a smartphone app to connect dog walkers with dog owners. Ladies and gentlemen: your startup bubble in action
I don't normally post investment news, but this got my goat (which I understand I can get someone to walk on Wag).
I think Chris needs to market CP as a "crowd-funded information site" to get some of these big bucks.

There's some kids here doing the same, without an app. Must be worth 200 million, if they only need an app

Computing fraud from criminals imitating Microsoft and other tech companies is a problem for users of technology, especially those who don’t know any better. One down, way too many to go
And I don't see anything about a fine to recompense victims

9 months seems a little lenient, I must admit. Not much of a deterrent.

9 months suspended, meaning he doesn't serve any time in jail. Also a ban on being a company director...big deal he'll get a relative to set up a company and he'll run the same scam from that.

I can sum up every article, book and column written by notable management experts about managing IT in two sentences: "Geeks are smart and creative, but they are also egocentric, antisocial, managerially and business-challenged, victim-prone, bullheaded and credit-whoring. To overcome these intractable behavioral deficits you must do X, Y and Z." Step 0: probably don't call them 'geeks'
At least not to their faces

Ah, software development. The only white collar industry that hires sociopaths that would otherwise find themselves in prison. At least, that's my take, reading that article!
