Rich Skrenta of Topix and dmoz fame was the writer of what was for all intents and purposes the first effective computer virus 25 years ago, AP reports. (Sorry for the late notice on this one - the story got picked up in my daily newspaper this morning.)
Ah, it seems like eons ago, doesn't it, the days of the "boot sector virus"... and if you got one, you probably had only yourself to blame, for borrowing that floppy disk full of games from your neighbor's uncle's friend.
Another tidbit that came out in the item: Skrenta's "stealth startup" is called Blekko. As far as I can tell, that's all we know right now about the project.

On the surface it looks like Paul Kedrosky slipped in something and tripped over this cow analogy. :) But then again, it was probably on purpose. Labels: kedrosky, skrenta, venture capital
