Most good media come out of somebody saying, 'This should exist; this is something I want to read.

I think people are sort of waking up to it now, how probably the biggest change in Internet media isn't the immediacy of it, or the low costs, but the measurability. Which is actually terrifying if you're a traditional journalist, and used to pushing what people ought to like, or what you think they ought to like.

While I love the medium, I've always been skeptical about the value of blogs as businesses.

I have to come to terms with the paternalism of American business. Companies are expected to take on so many social responsibilities which are the province of the state in Europe.

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

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.
