This article is depressing and disgusting, but not at all surprising having lived and worked in the SF tech scene. The conclusion is the best though “great companies don't spring magically to life when a nerd gets laid three times in a row” http://www.vanityfair.com/...

This is all really well-written, appropriately skeptical, and reminds me of the glory years of Vanity Fair coverage. http://www.vanityfair.com/... http://twitter.com/...

Silicon Valley bros have rebranded drug-fueled orgies among tech execs as a libertarian choice. http://www.vanityfair.com/...

“This isn't Prohibition or the McCarthy era, people remind me; it's Silicon Valley in the 21st century.” Someone tell these people that sex was invented in 1963, ok. http://www.vanityfair.com/...

Among the Silicon Valley Technorati, drug-heavy, sex-laced parties are the new normal—but this mixing of business and pleasure, writes @EmilyChangTV, is forcing women entrepreneurs into an uncomfortable position http://www.vanityfair.com/...

Amazing how each generation manages not only to think they invented sex but also the idea that conventional morality is a con. http://www.vanityfair.com/...
