How many c/net "news writers" does it take to report on a SINGLE story?
Every G'damn one of 'em!!!!
How's that for a punch line....too bad it is also SO true.
Not only that, but all we hear is the same (even mention in THIS story) information in a different format (picture flowcharts?!?)or by a different author.
All the while wasting our time with, what I have to describe as, childish nursery titles.
We have a Microhoo here
We have a Yahoogle there
Here a Microspace, there a Microspace, EVERYWHERE a Microspace......
It sickens me to the core!
I completely understand that if this were a REAL news media outlet (don't lie to me, and the rest if us and say it is more than what it is)this type of "reporting' wouldn't pass muster with REAL editors.
Here, it does, and it will. I like the "news" about technology.....but this is old hate, stale news that is akin to:
NEWSFLASH:
New York Harbor still home of Statue of Liberty!
No kidding? The old gal hasn't skipped off for a drink at a pub DC? Wonderful news! Now, if only it could be repeated for weeks on end, and in every way imaginable....by every writer on staff, and off.
Thank you for forcing me to digest another heaping load of NO NEW NEWS. Thank you very much for that!
Now I sound exactly like so many other posters I see on the net. I am sorry, so,so,so, sorry....but I can't take this anymore!
How on Earth can you?
science comes first, then repeatition is engineering and then on the third waves when it hits technology it must be lawyers that take on.
The capitalist 'gundas' - pirates of silicon valley!
I heard someone saying she was very happy to not to have internet and TV for two months when she moved. She could give time to herself rather than contributing to fill pockets of these pirates.
