Best line is clearly Buffet's - "Why be CEO of one top-tier business if you are capable of running 10? If Kevin Rose took this advice we wouldn’t have had Pownce.com would we?”

Verbal volleys.

Seems kind of obvious that Calacanis would eventually do something like this.
The $151k besting of Start Fund was pretty good, too.
Who else checked for a "news.calacaniscombinator.com"?
I wonder what the total amount spent on one off joke domains is per year, and where it would rank on the list of national GDP's.
When will Calcanis Combinator launch Webspam News?
Actually one of the better ones.
i wonder if any startup in this CC program has to pivot?
Google translate: Μην το ονομάσουμε μια μαφία, έχουμε εδώ και χρόνια

"Do not call it a mafia, we have many years"

Heh, it seems that that's been Google translated into Greek as well, as it doesn't make much sense. A more accurate translation would be "let's not call it one [sic] mafia, we've had for years".

I'm assuming they meant "let's not call it a mafia, we've had one for years"?

Try "don't call it a mafia, we've been here for years" if ya want ;-)
I laughed so hard at this: When asked for a comment on competing with Calacanis’ new incubator, Y-Combinator founder Paul Graham replied: “What’s a Calacanis?”

Definitely the funniest AFD joke i've seen today. Not quite as funny as the comments from people looking for news.calacaniscombinator.com but still great.

Who's got a better copy machine Facebook or Calacanis?
Hey. That's me! (The one that isn't Joel)
