Rose vs. Calacanis: Leo Laporte’s thoughts

Apparently Netscape boss Jason Calacanis offered to pay Digg’s top posters (as well as the top posters on Newsvine, Flickr, Reddit, and del.icio.us) to post on netscape.com’s ripoff Digg page instead.

Digg’s Kevin Rose said some stuff on his podcast about ripping off idea’s, Calacanis took it personally and flamed back on his blog.
Read the article from Leo for more insights. I guess Kevin won this round.

By the way, there’s another huge story about some digg lovers hacking Netscape’s homepage, showing some pop-up messages like this.

  When you ever get the chance to see this film, please do, cause this really is a hidden treasure.
- Kanye West - Heartless video
  
  From all his leaked 808s and Heartbreak songs, I like this the most, probably cause he sings the least. Video kills though.
- James Pants - We’re Through (video)
  
  Awesome.

  Both great actors, but themselves poorly directed which makes it that much less convincing. Kept thinking how weak the script was, so really didn't enjoy it.

  It's pretty, both visual and audible. A little too slow for me. I hate when people call it minimalistic when it's just simplistic, like it's a good thing. But I was really impressed with the ending, very strong.

  Spectacular. Hugely entertaining, masterly crafted, very clever well thought out action scenes. Awespiring.

  An easy going family film that demands little, but leaves a sentimental touch.
