I want to institutionalise and automate chequebook journalism.

It's harder now for journalists to do stories about billionaires, like Peter Thiel, without having at the back of their minds the fear that maybe somebody deep-pocketed, you know, with limited resources is going to come after us and can my organization afford to defend me?

Apple makes beautiful products. I own a Mac Pro, a Mac Book, a Mac Mini, an iPad, an iPhone, pretty much the entire collection.

I don't really mind playing tabloid monster. I always liked those characters in the old movies.

Publishing should be a collaboration between authors and their smartest readers - and at some point the distinction should become meaningless.

That's always been my test for what makes a story: is this something journalists would gossip with each other about?

Your writers write these pieces about meaningless startups, meaningless apps and meaningless companies.
