and left in January 2008:

The only reporters there now that I trust are Eva Glass and Charlie Demerjian.

As a side note, The Register is known to have at least two Microsoft ‘moles’ in it now.

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.

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).
