I've read Masnick for over 20 years and he's never learnt to write coherently. At least this one isn't blaming Europe.

looks like tomorrow's Pivot

 

Ed Zitron, Robert Evans, Edward Ongweso Jr. and Gare Davis turn CES into a British panel discussion show.

There are probably other links for it than Apple, I'm sure you can find them if that's an issue.

 

WE'RE BACK

 

Note: I don't care if the issues listed can be fixed - it's still like selling a nonworking car then getting the users to go to the shady cyberpunk district to get the fixes. It's like selling a dangerous power adapter and then go, hey, you can get an expert to go in there and do some soldering to the bridge rectifier and bulk cap trace widths, fix up the spark gaps so it complies with the most basic of safety regulations, and it will work as well as the competitor's, so aren't they practically the same? "Duurp, well at least you CAAAN get inside and solder-" Hey, what if a power supply just worked and was well featured? After like 40 years of development. Ever thought about that?
