Ars Technica has a readership who believe that market share and share prices are the defacto standard of quality in IT. Even if the majority of its contributors were not staunch Microsoft fanatics (they are by and large), it would be extremely difficult to keep the readership happy without putting the boot in to Google, Apple, and Linux (in ascending order of ferocity) at every possible opportunity. One could say the same thing about Slashdot of course, but for me the big difference is that the Slashdot readership seem to at least have some self awareness of their bias. Ars' staff and readership actually think that they present a "balanced" viewpoint!

Thats the point I don't get. The cat is out of the bag. They just make themselves look like asses. Wouldn't it be better to just keep quiet until you have something ready and then release it?

They are obviously continually incrementing the number in the name of their product. I won't dispute that. And if it were not so there is a damn good chance this article wouldn't exist.

Other than 'woo, digital!' it isn't actually better than the alternatives in any way.

I believe that compared to FM the sound quality is actually worse.

Ex-Sun Chief Dishes Dirt On Gates, Jobs 241

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday March 10, 2010 @09:59AM from the why-is-there-no-extra dept.

alphadogg writes "Former CEO of Sun Microsystems Jonathan Schwartz has taken to his personal blog, provocatively titled 'What I couldn't say ...,' to dish some industry dirt and tell his side of the story about the demise of Sun. He has already hinted at plans to write a book, and a new post suggests a tell-all tome could indeed be in the offing. 'I feel for Google — Steve Jobs threatened to sue me, too,' Schwartz writes, apparently referring to Apple's patent lawsuit against HTC, which makes Google's Nexus One smartphone. As for Bill Gates, Schwartz says he was threatening regarding Sun's efforts in the office software space."
