Objective news requires work. Instead, ‘news’ repeats mythology, straw man arguments, and whatever favours prospective advertisers.

Yesterday I received an E-mail from a PR bunny, to whom I said “I have a general personal policy of not engaging with PR agencies.” They tried to phone me. It’s disgusting how this industry work. Actually, I’ll do a post about it when I come to think of it.

Rookie mistake to some, but since M$ has to scrape the bottom of the barrel to get what programmers it can, only an elite few at M$ have the minimal skill to make such a mistake.

I notice how the press is ignoring that the upsurge in other browsers started with all the brouhaha about the sham “ballot” rather than with the actual launch of the sham “ballot”. It seems if there were a return to the pre-M$ days, the trade journals might actually provide a service and useful knowledge for their readers.

Remember back when there where articles actually compared products or explained how to check them out yourself?
