Haha, most excellent. One thing that I'm only now (and stupidly late) realising is that tech journalism almost never critiques new trends. Sure there are some gut "this fucking sucks" but there is never a real effort to provide some critical thinking about the PR emanating from whichever source. For example, soylent is the brain child of someone who has possibly crippling [OCD](http://robrhinehart.com/?p=1331 http://robrhinehart.com/?p=1331) (Having been blighted by it for most of my teenage and childhood.) It looks like one of his coping mechanisms. I'm sure its a great product, but I wouldn't want to emulate someone's OCD lifestyle. Yet we are asked to "emulate the habits of these successful XXX" without stopping to ask, are they happy? Yet no one seems to ask the question: "is this good?" or "whats the logical outcome?" They just seem to be keen to breathlessly relay the PR line, possible with a pithy snap reaction. I'm not suggesting a flame war for every press release, just a health helping of critical thinking, and some research.
