  The Register went downhill when Mike left. The Inquirer is going downhill now that he's left. I saw this coming when he announced that he was selling. Both publications have lost their spark, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them close.

  He was selling? To whom? I must have missed it.
  
  As a side note, The Register is known to have at least two Microsoft 'moles' in it now.

  Mike sold in January 2006: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2006/jan/26/news.business
  
  and left in January 2008: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/426/1024426/mike-magee-leave-inquirer
  
  The only reporters there now that I trust are Eva Glass and Charlie Demerjian.

  Yes, Microsoft tried sending gifts to Charlie Demerjian, but instead of accepting the gifts he exposed Microsoft's disingenuous offer.

  Seems like a typical unsubstantiated inflamatory opinion piece from the Inq, which is pretty much business as usual for them; it's why i read it. Even if it is dropping off a bit lately.
  
  At least they're obviously entertainment, and don't make out they're being too serious, and tend to piss everyone off at some point or another (no doubt on purpose).
