Fred Destin has an interesting post up today where he is asking his readership to let him know why VC's and entrepreneurs have become such enemies. I have to admit I too have been sensing an ever growing gap between VC's and entrepreneurs and oftentimes find it completely unfounded.

So it’s really come down to this? News Corp is thinking about inking a deal with Microsoft/Bing whereby not only will Bing get access to News Corp data (WSJ, Fox, etc.) but they’ll also prevent Google from indexing their sites.

I’m interrupting my blogging break to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! I have so much to be thankful for, and I hope all my readers feel the same. Here’s a short list: My wonderful, beautiful, healthy kids. My health. My family. My precious, caring friends. My job. Living in Austin where the weather these days is pretty nice. And many more things too numerous to list here.
