Arrington simply cannot resist making this about himself in some minor way. It's like honey to the bears.

As said in the other thread (http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=3925359) the man has to go, as clear cut as Hurd at HP. Starting of with a breach of ethics like this doesn't bode well for the future or to instill any sense of morale, values or professional ethics in the troops.

Congratulations, Mike.

Arrington is practicing his own form of "gonzo journalism", without the style of Hunter S. Thompson (that is to say, without any style).

I'm surprised anyone even cares.

I'm guessing it's just an "inadvertent error" on his resume, or what computer scientists might call a "bug".

Apparently he's sharing the position with Andrew Baron.

Arrington forgot to mention his PhD. in CS from Stanford...

He's trolling the tech press.

I can't believe how far that guy has gotten simply by being a boil on the ass of the tech industry.
