what is flagrance?

Fla´gran`cy . The condition or quality of being flagrant; atrocity; heinousness; enormity; excess.

Flagrance is good! Once upon a time Barra and David decided that if we were to create our own fragrance, we would call it 'Flagrance'. The idea being that it would be flagrantly expensive and flagrantly nice smelling. Well, we don't know how to develop, manufacture, and market a fragrance, so we have made a blog instead. Deal with it!

Fake iFeud


Steve Jobs has been a fan on The Beatles since he was young, he still adores them today, even though they have been disputing over the name "Apple". Recently, Paul McCartney made a break-through into reconciling with Jobs over their feud, he made a deal with Apple's iTunes which may signal a turning point. All seems well.......but wait......John Lennon's famous widow Yoko Ono isn't happy, and theres no pleasing her.

A blog has been getting a lot of attention from avid Silicon Valley enthusiasts. fakesteve.blogspot.com/ is a site run by....well...a fake Steve Jobs. Known a FSJ, his posts take a funny look at the Silicon Valley Millionaires. He talks about fictitious conversations that he has had with Yoko.

"So Yoko Calls. And she's acting all Zen and saying she's been praying for my soul and she's glad that my Apple and 'the real Apple', as she calls it, have been able to make peace. 'I know this is what John would have wanted,' she says. 'He was all about peace and making peace. Not war. But peace. Yes. That was John's way and so it is mine as well.' "

FSJ says, "You know, if you're so into peace, then why have you been fighting me for 25 friggin' years over the word 'Apple'? It's a friggin' word!"

Apparently, the website has been getting so much attention that the author has signed deals to write books and possible television or film project. FSJ, however, likes to remain anonymous. This is driving a Silicon Valley witch-hunt, people are desperate to find out who he is. Valleywag pointed out that they believe a british journalist Leander Kahney was the illusive FSJ. The blogger is so well informed about Apple and Steve Jobs that some believe it is Steve Jobs himself!
Jobs denies this, but admits that he enjoys the website and its authors commentary.
