Hugh Hendry Again. . .
Following on from my Kyle Bass on BBC Hard Talk post last week, and despite being banned from media interviews (by his CEO), Hugh Hendry has been captured on film again. This time at the recent LSE AIC.
This is brilliant Hendry - long, but a great watch. Especially the clips of some of his pre-ban media appearances - including the infamous shut down of Jeff Sachs and Joe Stiglitz on BBC Hard Talk.

Kyle Bass On BBC Hard Talk Last Week
Despite the hostile, pinko interviewer, it's well worth watching. Not quite Hugh Hendry though (who has been banned from media appearances by the adult supervision of a CEO).
Yet another case of the hunter outclassing the hunted by a such a large margin. . . .

When Bill Met Steve
1985: The young and the restless. Gates and Jobs, photographed at Tavern on the Green in New York City
Jobs was furious. . . . . "Get Gates down here immediately," he ordered Mike Boich, who was Apple's evangelist to other software companies. Gates came down -- alone and willing to discuss things with Jobs. "He called me down to get pissed off at me," Gates recalled. "I went down to Cupertino. . . . . I told him, 'we're doing Windows.'. . . . . 'we're betting our company on graphics interface'."
Their meeting was in Jobs's conference room, where Gates found himself surrounded by ten Apple employees who were eager to watch their boss assail him. Jobs didn't disappoint his troops. "You're ripping us off!" he shouted. "I trusted you, and now you're stealing from us!" Gates just sat there coolly, looking Steve in the eye, before hurling back, in his squeaky voice, what became a classic zinger. "Well, Steve, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it."

Not What You Were Expecting. . .
That was Rick Genest. Read more about the vid here. Not bad for an ad. . .
Update: looks like copyright bullshiitake strikes again and it's no longer on Youtube. Searching under "demablend", "go beyond" and/ or "zombie boy" for videos should get a result. Wank*ers.
Update II: looks like it's back on 'tube again. . . . If it goes down again, use the search terms above to find it.

Antelope crashes into cyclist during race
Mountain-biker Evan van der Spuy, 17, was hit by a red hartebeest buck during a race at Albert Falls Dam in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. The incident was filmed by his South African team mate, Travis Walker, who can be heard warning Van der Spuy to 'watch the buck'. Van der Spuy received hospital treatment but did not suffer serious injury.
