Short (Minded) Takes
Saturday, January 14, 2012 at 11:36AM When I started WinInfo in 1995, I had one goal: separate the wheat from the chaff and tell the reader about only what really matters. My successors, alas, are both less insightful and less useful, from what I can tell. And it makes me sad. Not only is CES a waste of time, but thanks to these kids’ inability to discern and then communicate what’s really important, they’ve actively worked to make it harder for others to figure that out as a result. These blogs are an embarrassment. And with CES over, I’m more than happy to delete them from my RSS feed reader for good and get back to real news. But I have some advice for the kids, and it goes like this. Most of what you “write” about is worthless. As a result, so are you.
And if anyone knows about worthless writing it’s Paul Thurrott.
