That's the power of cooperation. Roy gets to spend his time doing the links everyone loves while others take care of nasty jobs like reading Microsoft garbage. Cheers.

"You asked for a transcript of the Guardian CES interview," one of them said, "so I made one." Hopefully we won't have more than one person doing this at the same time, which is why I post this quick placeholder.

I carry on reading the technology section despite this as there are a small minority of independent minded articles and blogs. These continuous examples in my mind are due to lazy journalism and the need to churn out product to a tight schedule as well as wanting to keep the advertisers sweet. There has been the start of a debate as to whether product placement is to be allowed in UK telly programmes. Those against cite some USA programmes where the programme has become a vehicle for the product and the advertisers interfere with the writing. This type of commercial pressure we see in newspapers and magazines could be coming to your favourite telly programmes. Yes this does go on at the Guardian far more than I would like.
