It's interesting how there seems to be a niche for 'tech gossip' much along the lines of the celebrity gossip magazines and websites.
I always thought the IT world was above that but it seems that I'm mistaken.
It is almost like an echo chamber where the likes of Dvorak, Carr (not Nicholas, the 'other' one) and other compadres stir up this amazing foam of controversy and plain bull shit in order to generate page views and the crowd laps it up.
