Hotshot

Today, I was exploring the Lyon Street steps, when some loud hotshot was conducting business on his cell phone. "Yes, we're hoping to combine the benefits of social networking with a search function, so your search results will be more relevant, within the context of your social group."

Oh, just what the world needs.

"Let me tell you a little about myself. This is my fifth start-up..." Really ? They let you get away with it this many times? Does this mean the dotcom bubble didn't work, and there are still some gullible investors out there willing to give a loudmouth with a cell phone money hand over fist ?!

p.s. it's not a secret if you shout it into a cell phone in a public place, but anyone who steals that idea deserves it.
