That's a great headline. What's your problem with it? Does IT journalism need to be dry and purely technical?
- detritus 8y agoSomewhat ironically, The Register has a misbegotten step-sibling, https://www.theinquirer.net/ https://www.theinquirer.net/ [1], which tends towards the dry and purely technical and I've always found it thoroughly unenjoyable. [1] I can't remember the history [2], but long ago there was some disagreement and subsequent parting of ways and The Inquirer was born [2] Wikipedia does though, obviously: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Register https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Register "[co-founder Mike] Magee left in 2001 to start competing publications The Inquirer, and later the IT Examiner and TechEye."
