Apparently the Yahoo search engine loves Forbidden Fruit. I’m getting tons of hits from it. Well, tons for me. I don’t get a lot.

I caught a few minutes of 60 Minutes the other night, and there was a piece about one of the original Yahoo guys- I forget his name. Anyway, he’s giga-rich,* owns a basketball team, lives in a mansion, etc. They were talking about how he was just a regular guy, didn’t like really fancy things, etc., etc. As an example, they showed the office of the business he currently owns- a depressing warehouse jammed full of rows and rows of half-height cubicles. 60 Minutes gave the impression that this was an example of his ability to do without the finer things in life and not waste his money on frivolous things. It was ridiculous. He lives in this huge empty mansion and owns a basketball team, while his employees are stuck in terrible working conditions. There is nothing remotely admirable about wasting money on yourself while subjecting your underlings to days of work in a horrible place.
