Wednesday, May 6, 2009
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera of CNBC is pretty pissed that Amazon had the audacity to come out with a new and improved Kindle after the second model was released just 3 months ago.

Continue reading...Rob Enderle is a Moron
Tuesday, April 28, 2009
Seriously, how does Rob Enderle get paid to write about tech? He’s not a hot chick, and this isn’t Mad Men, so how in the world did he manage to convince anyone to give him money in exchange for his moronic ramblings? In his latest “article”, Enderle tries to argue that Apple has a PR […]

Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Usually when I come across an asinine article from an established website, I title it “So and so gets paid to write for <Insert Publication>?’ But I thought I’d spicen things up a bit this time and call a spade a spade. Scott Moritz may very well be a smart guy, but he’s clearly un-qualified […]

Saturday, February 28, 2009
A recent article from Brian Chen about why the Japanese hate the iPhone has been making the rounds on the web over the past few days.

Sunday, February 15, 2009
Daniel Eran Dilger has an interesting article up over at Roughly Drafted where he discusses just how ridiculous the discussion over Apple “patenting multi-touch” has become.
