β€œI’ve got an exclusive for you. We’re offering Google $34.5 billion to buy Chrome.”

β€œYou’re not talking to anyone else?”

β€œNope, exclusive for the Journal. I definitely do not have a colleague sitting next to me on the phone with Bloomberg as we speak.”

Because of my recent sale of DF-branded t-shirts, I've been perusing my spam folder every day over the last few weeks, to look for any incorrectly-flagged support messages from customers.

It's really surprising to me how outright spam β€” not like unwanted marketing messages, but totally garbage spam spam β€” is seemingly still sent via manual labor. It dropped off precipitously right before Christmas, stayed very low, and now has picked up again today.

Glad they get vacation time, I guess?
