Venture capitalists’ confidence is up — way up — at least according to a survey released midnight Thursday.

The Silicon Valley Venture Capitalist Confidence Index measures the confidence level of venture capitalists on a quarterly basis regarding the venture environment in the San Francisco Bay Area over the next six to 18 months. The first-quarter measurement shows VC confidence is up, following a drop that lasted the past three quarters of 2011. The report was compiled by University of San Francisco Professor Mark Cannice and sponsored by the international law firm Greenberg Traurig.

This is the group (those born after 1998) that won’t be able to comprehend life before the Internet and won’t even remember life before the smartphone or tablet. Email will be for “old people,” and touch screens will be the norm.

What does “geek” mean?

A piece by Becky Chambers for The Mary Sue explores what it means to be a “geek” — a word she finds to be interchangeable with “nerd” but not synonymous with “lonely” or ”maladjusted.”

The company, much like Facebook, has led to a number of innovations, some of which have resulted in the creation of whole companies. In fact, as Co.Design’s Mark Wilson reported, one designer is working to create a camera called Socialmatic solely for Instagram. The camera merely exists in 3D renderings and, as Wilson points out, seems a bit like a move backwards on photography’s evolutionary timeline. But the continued innovation around Instagram, whether backwards or forwards, highlights the value of the app outside of merely online photo sharing.

I’m referring to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998 and the recent attempts by the entertainment industry to push sister anti-piracy bills — the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the Senate and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) in the House — into law. These pieces of legislation assume guilt on the part of content consumers while simultaneously erasing their rights to privacy. But, before you cast aspersions, consider that Hollywood does this to protect the industry’s ability to create jobs, art, and money. They see a shrinking box office that spells the end for their industry, and they blame piracy.
