You Heard It First Here: MicroStuff Will Be Back in Bed With The Yahoose!

TechCrock sources have confirmed that Boomer's rants and Yerry Jang's retorts were merely foreplay... There is more coming in this lovefest. They won't consummate for awhile, but soon will be back in bed with each other. Will Yahoose investors ever have technogasm? No one knows, but Boomer has clearly aroused interest with is unconventional negotiating tactics.

Yerry Jang

Yerry Jang Responds to Boomer's Rant... "Here's What Really Happened!"

I just read Boomer's account of what happened in the negotiations and his version is so not true. I had intended keep the real account of what transpired private, because it was so shocking. But in light of the public relations charade that the Microstuff team has since perpetrated in the mainstream media, I am left with no choice. Here is the unvarnished truth. True Boomer put a bid on the table ... but the bid was for of $44,693,375,275.37 not $44,693,375,275.26 as he later reported in the pr… Continue

Steve Boomer, CEO, Microstuff

TechCrock Exclusive! Microstuff's Steve Boomer Tells All: "Why I Decided To Walk and What Really Happened?"

With all the "authoritative" Crock reported by the D League techblabbers and A League mainstream noizemakers, I'm grateful that we have at least one reputable Weblab like TechCrock, that affords me the opportunity to set the record straight in a civil environment, especially before such an elite group of TechThink opinion makers. Here's what really happened: I warned those Yahooz. Three f__king months went by and not a single blotch from their Yapoop. No attempt to engage in a constructive dia… Continue

Identity Theft: It Could Happen To You!!!!!!!!!!! by Michael Arrogant

When we read about identity theft it always seems a distant possibility, until it actually happens to you. Well, it hit home to me recently when I started seeing an imposter, posing as Michael Arrogant appearing at parties, on the Web, on talk shows. Then, in an act of unmitigated gall, he made a transparent attempt to capitalize on the popularity of TechCrock by starting his own blog called TechCrunch. I must admit, this imposter is convincing. He sounds authoritative. He looks like me. He seem… Continue

HMT: Human Molecule Transporter - A TechCrock Exclusive

When I first heard the hype surrounding the HMT “Human Molecular Transport" technology enabling the instantaneous transmission of people from one place to another using lasers, I admit I was skeptical. But now, having seen demos in multiple venues (high def and surround sound), I’m convinced they’re onto something of revolutionary signficance. Bottom line,, HMT is a ga… Continue

Revised Schedule of Revisions to News Postings on the TechCrock News Network (TNN)

The TechCrock News Network (TNN) is updated on a regular schedule as follows: normally it is updated 37 times a week, on alternating Tuesdays, Thursdays and Mondays, with occasional revision of the updates on the second and fourth Wednesday, unless it is leap year in which case the updating schedule is reversed, provided that no breaking tech news interferes with the originally scheduled revisions to the alternating schedule. The foregoing applies only to secondary news stories breaking through blog networks, which sometimes revise their own schedule of revisions, in which case the TechCrock updating schedule is updated accordingly. For the schedule of primary and tertiary news updates, check back here on alternating Mondays and Fridays, to determine which updating schedule will apply to the revisions.
