  • Accidental Empires: How the Boys of Silicon Valley Make Their

    From Joakim Melin@3:633/10 to All on Tue Aug 4 21:22:22 2026
    I am offering you a candidate:

    Accidental Empires: How the Boys of
    Silicon Valley Make Their Millions,
    Battle Foreign Competition, and
    Still Can't Get a Date: Cringely, Robert
    X.: 9780887308550:
    Amazon.com: Books

    <https://www.amazon.com/Accidental-Empires-Silicon-Millions-Competition /dp/088


    It's a very entertaining book but anything Cringely wrote/writes should be taken with a boatload of salt since he has always been completely full of
    shit.

    Now there?s an unfortunate mixed metaphor, if ever there was one ...
