I clicked on the link to the ZDNet article above and was shocked at how terrible it was. I’ve been a reader of your site for some time now and have even listened to a few of the podcasts. After reading your whining like a 3 year old child that didn’t get what he wants RIGHT NOW, I have decided to stop visiting your site. I have also decided to email ZDNet and ask that you not be asked back for articles. Your disregard for the passing of Steve Jobs was stupid and childish. Grow up, learn some respect.
I wonder if your advertisers are aware that you are driving viewers and listeners away from your site?
