Let me try to get from the Steve Gillmor‘s Gang to the big picture really quick. Although Steve says that it was not Jason Calacanis‘ fault that a certain episode failed, it goes back to Jason taking that episode hostage by interrupting it at his own pace, trying to force Gillmor to either publish the […]
