“Desperate”?

It is a poor choice of word. It also shows how misinformed the writer is. The one person who is “desperate” for attention is none other than Casey Johnston herself. How in the world Ars Technica Editor would approve this post. People who read Ars Technica might have mistaken it for a tabloid magazine.

For that, Casey Johnston is the JackArse Technica of the day.

Note:
This is not the first time in recent months Ars Technica published poorly written articles and headlines.

Let’s give The New York Times benefit of the doubt. Maybe the editor had a bad week.

An article on The New York Post by Quentin Hardy is quoting Rob Enderle. Seriously, Rob Enderle? What happened? Is it because nothing quotable from Carlos Mencia?

Let’s put it this way, Rob Enderle has decades of experience for being wrong. Anyone remember the “Fifth Column” gibberish from Enderle? (That’s a link to MacDailyNews instead of to Enderle’s original post.)
