Knowledge is power. We all thrive on knowing what’s going on, who did what, with who/where, the obligatory “was he/she drunk?” and ending it with the all too common “wow!”

Michael Robertson (domain fame mp3.com) has recently launched a new site dealipedia. Prying off anonymity and silicon valley/alley buried secrets (and of course legitimate info from the SEC) users can now take the wikipedia model and show who has a bigger napoleon complex house and higher cholesterol.

Favorite section of the site for me is “Who Made The Money?”  but probably not for Joitchi Ito who (made “0″ million) on the deal with “Quincy’s House of Pain” (also known as CBS Interactive.)  While it recently has taken off, given where the market has been and continued direction of compression, this list will likely continue to grow.

My goal in life is to make this list and be angry (secretly stoked) because i found out through someone else.

So say…the company you work for has $15B in cash (straight chillin.)

They come out with really cool “ish“.

Their products get the Time’s Gadget of the Year award.

Their stock is killin it (overall trends that is…)

And…if you’re a really hard working tech guy? and your stock hasn’t hit a point that you can buy what real men really want? <insert what u like…just don’t share> Look to good ol’ Steve to hook you up and say - Happy Christmahanakwanzaka. Straight from our role models at Valleywag:

  • New macbook
  • New 80gb iPod
  • “Rumorville” but this has been “unconfirmed” from a few folks I know out in Cupertino ;)
