Venture capitalist and 9rules member Guy Kawasaki just wrote about The Art of Sucking Down, which essentially is how everyone needs to respect those who have power over certain aspects of our lives. Don’t piss-off waiters because they handle your food, did you see “Waiting”? Don’t yell at people at the airplane ticket counter because they control where your baggage goes and who you’ll sit next to. Basically Guy is saying that you shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds you, or else that hand won’t feed you anymore.

9charities: Trying To Give Back
I talk with my guys at 9rules a lot about the big picture. Right now many people see 9rules as a blog network, however we never really saw it as that even when we dreamed the idea up about one year ago. We’re moving our way towards building a community of the most brilliant people on the web — whether they’re businesswomen, designers, developers, entrepreneurs, technologists, scientists, or anyone else. Forget the concept of just a blog network, 9rules is now a place that can build on the combined talents of our massive community. Anyway, back to the big picture 🙂

Vongo Says I Have An OS Failure
I was watching TV tonight and kept seeing funny ads for a service called Vongo. The ads were pretty nebulous, so after the movie I tried visiting their website:
Not a browser failure, but an OS FAILURE! Kinda odd too, considering they stuck “Mac OS X” in the right hand “Minimum System Requirements” column. There’s a little red circle next to Mac OS X though, but still, the name of the column shouldn’t be contradictory to what their error message is saying. I’m guessing that Vongo uses ActiveX…. any Windows Vongo users out there know what’s up?
