The first time I heard somebody say "Jason Nation" I threw up in my mouth a little. Later on when all of the hangers-on who looked good on camera were vying to be part of his reali…

Anybody who disrupts techcrunch would have my respect and gratitude. Try not to take credit for other peoples' work and you'll already be one step above Arrington when it comes to …
