Let the writers' sniping begin (Los
Angeles Times) 09/24/2004 05:19 AM
Los Angeles Times - One Hollywood exec is described as a "nightmare" who engages in "endless lying." Other movie bigwigs are labeled "obnoxious," "gutless" and "afraid to express any opinion for which she might be held accountable." It gets even nastier: One producer is accused of abusing female staffers, and of another, it is said: "instead of putting money on the screen, he puts it into his pocket."

Amazon discloses many reviews written by
insecure, sniping writers

Amazon discloses many reviews written by
insecure, sniping writers 02/14/2004 01:12 AM
Amazon accidentally revealed the real names of many anonymous reviewers this week, through a bug in the amazon.ca back-end. It turns out that many of the reviewers are writers saying nice things about their own books or trashing their colleagues.

"That anybody is allowed to come in and anonymously trash a book to me is absurd," said Mr. Rechy, who, having been caught, freely admitted to praising his new book, "The Life and Adventures of Lyle Clemens," on Amazon under the signature "a reader from Chicago." "How to strike back? Just go in and rebut every single one of them...."

One well-known writer admitted privately -- and gleefully -- to anonymously criticizing a more prominent novelist who he felt had unfairly reaped critical praise for years. She regularly posts responses, or at least he thinks it is her, but the elegant rebuttals of his reviews are also written from behind a pseudonym.

AP - Wade Jones is a fan of Elvis Presley, but says he's not a fanatic. That's why — after a grilled cheese sandwich said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary sold on eBay for $28,000 — he decided to sell three tablespoons of water from a cup that Jones said was used by Presley during a 1977 concert.

Yahoo Japan Sued For Scam Auctions

Yahoo Japan Sued For Scam Auctions 04/01/2005 05:04 PM
It's actually somewhat surprising we don't hear more stories like this. Yahoo Japan has an online auction service, and just like every online auction service, some scammers use it to pull the old "sell something you don't have" trick. Of course, the people who are fault are the scammers -- but upset scam victims apparently figured they need to look somewhere else to sue, and the obvious choice is Yahoo Japan. So, despite just being the platform for the auctions, there's now a class action lawsuit against Yahoo Japan because some scammers used the auction site. This is going to be a very difficult case for those suing to prove. It's not Yahoo's fault -- even though the lawsuit claims that Yahoo somehow knew these auctions were fraudulent. This is yet another case where people sue the big company, rather than suing whoever actually broke the law.

Welcome to Dubai

Welcome to Dubai 12/25/2004 05:20 PM
The world's ritziest hotel. The world's largest man-made islands- three of them, actually. And, starting construction in mere weeks, the world's tallest building- by more than 300 meters. Welcome to Dubai.

Dubai: "Sure, we can build that."

Dubai: "Sure, we can build that." 04/01/2005 11:48 AM

I'm kind of a building / engineering / architecture groupie, and I'm starting to learn how Dubai is Ground Zero these days for magnificent buildings. There's simply nothing they can't or won't build.

The picture above is a rendering of the Burj Dubai, which is currently under construction. It's going to be the tallest building in the world, beating out the current record holder, Taipei 101. (Those lesser buildings situated around it in the picture? Just regular skyscrapers.)

He refused to reveal the total number of stories, but a mock elevator at the site held a button for a 189th floor. [...]

A hotel will occupy the lower 37 floors. Floors 45 through 108 will have 700 private apartments — already sold in just eight hours, the developer said.

Corporate offices and suites will fill most of the rest, except for a 123rd floor lobby and 124th floor observation deck — with an outdoor terrace for the brave. The spire will also hold communication equipment.

Dubai already holds the record for the tallest pure residential building. The 21st Century tower is 55 stories and — according to this article at the excellent Emporis — is 100% leased by Emirates Airlines to house their flight attendants. ("Emporis: Porn for Architects")

Then there's the Burj Al Arab hotel, which you've probably seen. It's the one that looks like a big sail. It has the most famous helipad in the world — it was a clue location in Season 5 of The Amazing Race, Tiger Woods used it as a driving range, and Federer and Agassi played tennis there once.

But, if they're not building castles in the sky, those crazy folks in Dubai are doing things like this:

The Palm is a land reclamation project that created an island shaped like...well, a palm. As you can imagine, real estate on said island is not cheap. There are three of them under construction, and the first one should open late this year.

I drool with desire for the Modern Marvels and Extreme Engineering documentaries.
