That's beautiful. How full of shit can one person be?

I saw this the other week and then the news of the DiggBar made me think of the exact same thing. I'm sure Kevin isn't the only person involved with the DiggBar, but as the founder of Digg, he should have known that this whole thing was shady. Everyone's trying to increase marketshare and unique visitors, but this is down there with completely lifting content and posting it as your own.

It was STARFLIGHT Kevin. Not Starcontrol.

Didn't seem like Rose was "miffed" to me. Still the DiggBar is crap.

Ged, he meant Star Control II -- inspired by Starflight to be sure, but a different title.

Someone needs to invent the DoucheBar to frame Digg.

I agree, Rose does not seem particularly "miffed". I think what we are seeing, though, is in-diggnation.

I think his exclamation of "holy shit!" is what makes me think it surprised and shocked him.

Yes, I agree, Clint. Surprised and shocked, but he can't exactly afford to be offended (or miffed), and he KNOWS it. He's calculating enough to know that, if he truly acts offended, that clip will go 'round the world in a heartbeat. As it is, he's getting plenty of heat over this. He needs to take care not to reach for the gasoline right now.

Well, there goes the profits as Digg shows they are hypocrites.

great catch clint. and they're reviewing Safari4? this is not long ago at all.
it almost seems as if kevin realized what he was saying -- and knowing that the diggbar was coming -- he tried to change the subject quickly after his initial 'holy shit' moment.

BTW, has Alex ever broken down and just BLOWN Rose in one of these things? Clearly he would if told to.

Haha, that's like totally funny because they're friends and maybe he looks up to him and stuff. Idiot.

He's a sycophant (look it up), and a pretty sad one at that. I must remind myself not to attack sycophants, though, as they tend to stick (desperately) together. It must really terrify this guy at night - knowing that once Rose is yesterday's news, he'll be less than a memory.

Your ignorance is kind of hilarious. They've known each other for five years, before Rose's Digg-fame, and Albrecht has his own, popular show. If you had bothered to actually watch Diggnation, you would know that they rarely agree, and going as far as claiming that he kisses Rose's ass (see, that works fine, too) is just ridiculous.
