The latest tempest from Marc Andreessen, Silicon Valley's resident storm king, concerns self-destructive startups. Wonder if any of his critiques—like going public before you're ready or assuming there's always more cash—apply to portfolio companies like Box or Fab?

For too long, the war of words over e-hailing apps has been dominated by the Uber's bombastic CEO and fat cat taxi companies defending their turf. But filmmaker Max Maddox flips that script, exploring "the lives of drivers caught in the crosshairs" in his mini documentary "Taxi 2.0."

The hottest job in America right now is an internship at tech corporation. Not only do these nubile nerdlingers make more than the median household income supporting entire families, but they also get unrestricted access to Silicon Valley's perk supply without even a college education.

This sounds familiar: the young, celebrated chief of a rising tech company is facing heinous abuse allegations. This time, it's in the "Silicon Forest" of Portland, where Urban Airship CEO Scott Kveton is under investigation for allegedly raping his girlfriend.

Google has been taking heat for clogging San Francisco's housing supply with their employees. Now neighbors in their corporate hometown are grumbling that the company's $600 million real estate "shopping spree" will ruin the cozy suburb.

They say great ideas come from solving everyday problems. For Keith Rabois, that problem was buying an entire home online within "a few clicks." This was such a relatable issue that OpenDoor, an eBay for homes, just raised "an insane party round" from "everyone" in Silicon Valley.

Marc Andreessen made his fortune founding Netscape and investing millions into speculative startups, but his father-in-law is the man who made "Silicon Valley" possible. And ugly.

New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd finally recovered from her bad trip and she's back in the opining business. In this weekend's Sunday Review, she bemoaned the loss of American exceptionalism. But one bright-eyed demographic doesn't share her bad attitude:

Billionaire technorats can't just tweetstorm the impending techno-utopia and expect the plebes to like it. Radical innovation—like, say, driverless cars or computerized faces—takes some getting used to. In order to sell human obsolescence, Google CEO Larry Page opts for a Mary Poppins approach.

Great news! If you're an UberX customer in New York City, the rides are now 20 percent cheaper—less than yellow cabs! Bad news! If you're an UberX driver in New York City, you're now making 20 percent less money.

There are two things startups shouldn't fuck with in San Francisco. One is parking, and the other is restaurants. San Francisco is, after all, a city of foodies. Techies write bots to score competitive reservations. Foodies stand two hours in the rain waiting for day-old New York bagels. Now a startup is drawing fire for trying to capitalize off that love.

Bloodhound had everything going for it. TechCrunch once hailed the tradeshow app as "genius" and Peter Thiel led a $3 million investment round in the "blowing up" company. So when a landlord drove out a popular arts collective from its home in the heart of the San Francisco's Mission District, Bloodhound was quick to sign as the new tenant. Fifteen months later, the company is out on the street and being sued for unpaid rent.

Somehow, despite being sued into the middle of the Earth's core and losing its fan base, music-streaming site Grooveshark is still technically in business. But according to this employee account, the company is a septic tank of mismanagement, assholes, wasted money, and anti-morale.

Facebook employees love their boyish boss. Glassdoor ranked Mark Zuckerberg the most liked CEO last spring, with 99% of Facebookers approving of his leadership. But with relatively low consumer approval ratings, a diversity of opinions on campus might make business better.

Yesterday, prominent Yahoo! employee David Karp told his team at Tumblr that Derek Gottfrid, an exalted VP, was just fired. Soon after, an early Tumblr backer and noted New York tech-loon shared his very, very frank thoughts.

Tom Perkins made himself a symbol of Silicon Valley tone-deafness earlier this year. He infamously declared the Bay Area's resistance to one percenter techies was akin to the Nazi's war on Jews. But he seems to have come around to the tech detractors' point of view.

Sheryl Sandberg apologizes for the Facebook study that deliberately made certain users feel bad emotions: "We never meant to upset you." Well.

The head of Tinder looks pretty bad this week, after a load of misogyny allegations and shameful texts went public. Now Sean Rad is defending the hookup app he co-founded, and says Whitney Wolfe, his accuser, is full of it.

Tim Draper, who sincerely wants to divide California into six smaller states in order to help the aristocracy of Silicon Valley, has won the FBI's seized bitcoin auction. What a world!

A new legal offensive against Tinder, everyone's favorite iPhone promiscuity simulator, reiterates just how ugly it can be to face a macho-dominated startup office. It also suggests you should never, ever, ever text about your crises.
