  • Here's a story about WantedList in this month's Wired magazine. We wrote about them in issue 6 (summer 2005) in our Take Out section. Don't remember that? This should jog your memory -- they founded a Netflix-like company that rents out porn.

    No such luck for Kim Ng, although I was rooting for her to get the job. Ned Colletti, Assistant GM for the Giants gets it instead. Hey, what about that whole Giants-Dodgers rivalry?! See SF Gate's write-up.
