Billion Dollar Infallible Man

Billion Dollar Infallible Man 04/19/2005 11:50 AM

« Sic transit gloria mundi carved into a rock on the southern edge of Lauttasaari. »

This one's for the well fed boys in red deliberating in their multi-million dollar hotel who amongst themselves will be the next infallible man entrusted to dispense admonishments for condom use, to ensure that the role of women stays firmly in the middle ages and to condemn poverty everywhere except Vatican City. Those who think the last pope was so great likely cannot read latin or ever bothered to read his encyclicals. It's a sad time in the world where not starting a war and offering weak words of peace makes you a great pope. Popes used to have armies and kill the dirty unbelievers, but now all they do is ride around in the popemobile and have world leaders over for dinner now and then. The retirement plan sucks, too.

You can't take it with you and you'll be forgotten along with everything else eventually; even a pontiff.

Return Of The Billion Dollar Venture
Fund

Return Of The Billion Dollar Venture
Fund 02/19/2004 06:27 AM
At the height of the bubble years, it seemed like every other venture capitalist was raising a billion dollar (or more!) fund so that they, too, could feed cash into the IPO generating system of Silicon Valley. However, after the bubble collapsed, and VCs realized that they couldn't find enough places to put their money to get a reasonable return (long term investing be damned), they ended up giving billions back to limited partners who weren't too thrilled with their venture investing buddies. However, the big institutional investors simply don't know what else to do with the money they have earmarked for high risk investments, so when the VCs (the same ones who did nothing with their money) come back again on their usual fund raising trips, the institutional investors open up their wallets. Thus, it's no surprise to hear that, now that the tech world is heating up again, NEA is the first VC firm in years to raise a new billion dollar fund. They won't be the last, however. Expect many of the big name funds to start announcing similar funds in the relatively near future.

VA Ditches Half A Billion Dollar Useless
Computing System 07/28/2004 04:22 AM
Last week, we noted some of the probl ems the Federal Technology Service was having getting their very expensive computer system to actually work (it had something to do with not actually training people to use it) that was causing all sorts of delays and problems (including crying employees). Not surprisingly, this isn't the only example of completely wasteful spending on large computing systems from government agencies. The Department of Veterans Affairs has now announced plans to ditch their $472 million computer system that was designed to be used in VA hospitals across the country. Luckily, it appears that they have not yet spent all of that money, as this particular installment was just a test at one location in Florida. Now, however, the hospital is switching back to their old computer system. Problems with the system meant a shortage of surgical supplies and delayed operations (ouch). Once again, a lack of real training seems to be part of the problem. Even worse, there are reports that BearingPoint, who build the system received an extra $200,000 for finishing the project "on time." Of course, in order to finish it on time, they skipped that whole pesky training part. Just one example of poorly designed "incentives" for projects.

Two LA spammers were ordered to pay $2 million and received various business restrictions in Santa Clara County Superior Court, this past Friday. This is the largest judgment won by government prosecutors against senders of unsolicited e-mail. The spammers are also the object of a Federal Trade Commission suit; however, both legal cases are civil suits, so there's not much chance that the spammers will see the inside of a jail cell anytime soon.
