Wasn't forbes respectable at some point? Is this how far things have fallen?

> Guy Kawasaki released a 208 page book about it. You should be able to build your own Honda Accord in 196 pages.

What.

There's not a single valid point in the entire article, the most laughable part is the 'open source the code!' argument.

Yea, I don't really agree with the trend of big, reputable news places having such an increasing number of random blog posters. There's a big difference between Forbes proper and Forbes random-poorly-researched-blog-article (same goes for other places as well).

Then again you can also raise the same question when the more traditional columnists start spewing random ideas about fields in which they have no expertise...

Whenever I read news articles about things I know well, I wonder how much misinformation I am getting about everything else.

Possibly a subversively clever way of high lighting the value of "editorial control" ;)

Forbes does this because it's rewarded by Google, they rank for pretty much everything so they fill it with junk.

Forbes has basically sold out all of their integrity by allowing pretty much anyone to write a post on their site. It's a shame, really.

That was just a joke, right? Not a bad one I have to say.
