Square Copied in China
Engadget’s post about the new credit card payment square rip-offs got me thinking that Jack Dorsey (Square’s CEO) is the kind of entrepreneur that is going to be eaten alive by Chinese businesses.
if you ask Square CEO Jack Dorsey, we’re sure he’ll have to a thing or two to say about these familiar-looking dongles
Square is neat as all get out, but its certainly not complicated. And the execution isn’t so great that there isn’t room for improvement. If square wanted the Chinese market they should have been fighting for it from day one. I can’t imagine the Prada wearing Golden Gate Bridge fanatic Dorsey is willing to put a knife in his teeth and fight for a piece of a market where no one really cares if its “elegant”.
A Bugatti dealer has moved in on our block. When you go in to look at the Veyron they lock the door and lower a shade so you can ogle with privacy.
I’m in a windowless white room that could be a set from 2001 a space odyssey. In reality it’s a vodafone repair center.

More AMG SLS action.
Holy F! It’s a 2011 AMG SLS gullwing Mercedes-Benz getting a detail down the street. (behind the Maybach)
A GT3 must be a painful car to own on an Island with 8 mil people and a speed limit of 50 mph.
Liberty Lost?
I was just standing in my kitchen filling up at our water cooler when I asked my wife if we should start getting two 5 gallon bottles delivered on Mondays rather than just one. She responded from the “office” with a, “whatever, we can do that” kind-of answer.
I started to respond, then I stopped myself, thinking better of what I was about to lob across the apartment. I realized how much liberty I’ve lost since my youth, and I fell into a dark reflection about growing up. What I stopped saying was, “Good, ‘cause I’m going to drain this fucker like a homeless mans ball-sack.” For some reason i cant drop that in my home anymore.
I recall a time when that would have been the least offensive thing I would say all day. A care free time when bath towels were napkins, and filth was OK. Am I heading in the right direction, or have I built myself a jail!?
