Peter Thiel, Tech Billionaire, Reveals Secret War with Gawker
Josh Marshall, from John Gruber:    It all comes down to a simple point. You may not like Gawker. They’ve published
    stories I would have been ashamed to publish. But if the extremely wealthy,
    under a veil secrecy, can destroy publications they want to silence, that’s a
    far bigger threat to freedom of the press than most of the things we commonly
    worry about on that front. If this is the new weapon in the arsenal of the
    super rich, few publications will have the resources or the death wish to
    scrutinize them closely.
