World Economic Forum: Red (Lobster) Alert!

So just in case we hadn't mentioned it, Sarah and I went to Las Vegas this weekend. Contrary to popular opinion, Vegas is not just all bright lights and people running amok, fueled by whatever vice happens to engage them at that moment. It is, in fact, the perfect place to sit down and have an international, in-depth dialogue about our current economic status. No, not the Merrill Lynch buy-out, not the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy crisis, or even the U.S. government's proposed $700 billion dollar bailout, but the food-to-price ratio of the lobster salad at Spago. Robert Loch, the "Hugh Hefner" of the London tech scene as he is known, takes a minute out of his schedule this weekend to discuss his thoughts... (and because he is British, and very irate, be forewarned that the following contains some choice expletives) Bon appetit!
