"I gave up two years of my life writing about gadgets for this site. Waking up every morning at 5 AM, chewing up press releases to find the rare morsel of legitimate information, chasing down “hot tips” that ended up being photochops of iPods with reflections of genitals in the touchscreens. Oh, and the worst: fielding emails from PR parasites eager to suck away precious time in a half-hour phone meeting while the Senior Vice-President of Smoke Blowing tells me about how his company’s software—based on an idea cribbed from Google—is going to change the way I look at something I didn’t care about in the first place. (Inevitably, “forever.”)"
Joel Johnson (old news, I know), freelance NY based tech journalist (with a blog). I’m not too familiar with him (at least, I recognise the name, but can’t say I’ve noticed an article to be his before). I couldn’t have put this better myself, even a few years ago when I was able to put things so much better than I am now.
And yes, I do like my iPhone (which is currently upgrading to 2.1).
