    TechCrunch covers the industry gossip better than almost anyone else, but there's one way they get this story right. So come on, Ryan, show us what you're made of. Arrington's post is fishy as hell.

    Popular Mechanics? A million or so of the world's best minds spend thirty years inventing the internet, and there's still a Popular Mechanics?

    Count Arrington's TC post as his own heavy-handed negotiations.

    This is hot air and posturing; this will see the light of day if it does in fact work.

    I was just about to email this to you, Ryan. Of course, I should have known that you'd already be on top of it.

    I wonder if Popular Mechanics is going to release a statement, or if they'll go the Perez Hilton route (Castro) and just never speak of the incident again.

    Something Israeli about that guy (not necessarily in a bad way) His dad is Jack Arrington, who is a principal at CALIBRE, management and technology service for the defense world:

    Single withered neuron signals: "Calee-behr" is also Israeli slang, meaning something like "high caliber."

    In reply to Magazine's Product Of Year Doesn't Actually Exist
    It's also another case of tech insiders who think that the products they are attracted to will actually succeed in the market. Sorry, but even if the CrunchPad is released and kind of cool, no one is going to buy it, because it doesn't fill any sort of market need. Whose going to spend $x00 on a touch screen browser when that money could go toward a better laptop or phone? Stupid.

    In reply to No More Fighting 'Like Rabid Dogs' For Tech's Odd Couple
    I won't waste my time with the stupid video.

    These two (among many) seem to amazingly come up with some attention-getting emotional stunts just at about the time they need to draw attention to some money-making activity.

    I find their revelations about technology often not so revelatory.

    I'd rather get my information from technologists who have subsequently learned journalism than from journalists (and other non-tech backgrounds) who struggle to understand technology having never "done it".
