I missed the initial hullabalo surrounding the recent Google Reader fiasco (link goes to the Slashdot discussion).  But I may as well add my thoughts.

Wisdom From Nerdistan

Musings on the iPhone, Google, Nerds and Brand Identity Part 1.

By The Angry Drunk

I’ve been taking in all the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the tech pundits regarding the so called “bricking” of hacked iPhones with the 1.1.1 update; and I came to a realization about just why the Nerdistanis get so fucking worked up over every last thing that Apple does; and as a corollary [...]
