To be fair the kid asked for the laptop without Arringtons knowledge. They fired the offending employee and removed all his material from Techcrunch. They were very transparent about the whole incident

Thank you for the clarification on this. I stand by my point that Arrington isn't exactly the most scrupulous tech blogger out there either, and this article just reeks of self-importance and conceit.

Whoa, TechCrunch is a blog?

You're putting us all down. Blogging is no more inherently self-important than speaking at all.

I find blogs to be more self-aggrandizing than traditional opinion columns. But indeed, I agree that it is unfair to pin general human traits on blogs.

Oh, and if I sound like I'm on a high horse... I would do the same thing that Arringtion does, if only somebody cared what I thought about anything ;)
