Simon Pegg Writes 1,000 Words on Why He Joined the 140-Character-Publishing Twitter [Twitter]

I loathe following celebrities on Twitter, but I make an exception with British actor Simon Pegg. He's classy, funny and knows how to use Twitter correctly—something you only have to look at Courtney Love's Twitter feed to appreciate. Pegg wrote for the New Statesman that he grabbed his Twitter handle early to avoid cybersquatters, but admitted he "resisted Twitter for a long time, initially because I didn't understand it," before becoming entranced in the marketing power it could give him for the launch of his latest film, Paul.

LivingSocial Financials Exposed: $2.9 Billion Valuation, $50 Million In Revenue Per Month

There's nothing like full disclosure during the negotiating process in an acquisition deal. LivingSocial acquired SocialMedia for just $3 million in stock, we reported earlier today. As part of the negotiating process they disclosed key financial information to SocialMedia to help that company understand the value of the stock they were receiving in the deal. That information is now in my inbox. SociaMedia is getting around 545,000 shares of common stock of LivingSocial, valued at $3 million. That implies that there are approximately 520 million shares outstanding. At the recent Series E preferred price of $5.65 per share (which is what most people would use for valuation purposes), LivingSocial is a $2.9 billion company. LivingSocial is no Groupon when it comes to revenue, but it's doing just fine. February revenue was $50 million, says our source, and projected revenue for 2011 (assumed calendar) is a cool $1 billion. Our best guess on Groupon revenue in February was a little under $100 million, so it's roughly twice the size of LivingSocial.

Windows 8 Can Be Run From a USB Stick [Blip]

A leaked copy of Windows 8 has had people scrambling to find new features and tidbits to gossip about—and it looks like there's a surprise hidden there for us, as we'll actually be able to run it from a USB stick. In fact, you'll be able to create copies using the portable workspace feature, though you'll need a USB stick of at least 16GB to do so. [MyDigitalLife via WinRumors] More »

"Man will pay the price for his pride if he believes technology can give him the powers of God." [Control]

Earlier this month it was the Internet making people into Satanists. This week it's technology in general that's the problem. We're becoming too god-like, see, and the Pope has predicted eternal damnation for the lot of us if we continue. More »

TechCrunch Interview: FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski

Earlier this week, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski took the stage at the Computer History Museum in San Jose, CA for a special Commonwealth Club event moderated by Adam Lashinsky, Senior Editor at Large of Fortune. Their conversation touched on a range of issues related to the FCC, including net neutrality and AT&T's pending acquisition of T-Mobile (which, unsurprisingly, Genachowski couldn't comment on). Immediately following the event Genachowski took some time to speak with us (he says he's a big fan of TechCrunch). Check out the video above for our interview with him, in which we discuss why the FCC's net neutrality rules are more lenient with regard to wireless than they are for wired Internet connections.
