Absolutely agree. The guy acted arrogant and entitled and attempted to argue with the Captain. There was a very simple solution to this situation; Suck it up, swallow your pride and apologise, whether you were in the wrong or not. If he had

Awesome product, but ridiculous product description. Also; "I'd like to see you try to make one..." is a silly counterpoint. If we applied that line of thought to everything we wouldn't be able to critically analyse anything. There would

You make very good points. But I think to be fair to Broder who operates within the context that he does, he was not out of line. I do agree that the nature of news is changing as are readers expectations.

Why do you suppose there would be two contrails?

That is surreal. My jaw dropped as it came into perspective. Looks like it came straight out of Hollywood.

I wouldn't characterise it as lying. Broder constructed a narrative around his experience, and got a couple of the details wrong.

by andrewfelix 14y ago
As mentioned a lot of journalists will attempt to create a narrative. They need to capture the readers interest with a compelling read. If all Broder did was compile a list of facts, he wouldn't be writing for the NYT. Musk is not in that p

If you're going to downvote this, at least have the courtesy to respond.

"reads like Broder was trying to stack the deck" I disagree. I think Broder is doing what a lot of journalists do and has accentuated the overall negative experience to create a better narrative. In spite of the poor communication and sli

I think the biggest mistake he made was accusing Broder of intentionally making the car fail in attempt to discredit the concept of an electric vehicle. It's one thing to present data that contradicts the article. But to suggest possible di

I'm still running a seven year old core 2 desktop that periodically requires a new HDD or video card. It runs like a champ, so I agree with you wholeheartedly. Also +1 for passion.

Jeez I thought our tax system was broken. This must happen all the time. Thankfully Australia's taxation is handled federally.

Absolutely agree. Stopped reading after this: "However, anecdotally, it seems that people are upgrading their iPhones and iPads in longer cycles." The entire article is based on personal observation. This is has very little to do with the

"This is a tablet" It beggars belief that Microsoft could consider this competitive as a tablet. As a laptop, the power and price point makes sense. But as a tablet it's thick, heavy, has very poor battery life and 99% of meaningful Windo

So having only glanced at the patent yourself, you felt confident enough to criticize me? Do you honestly feel like you're adding to the discussion?

Why not correct my interpretation, rather than make a snide insinuation?

More detailed look at the patent: http://www.google.com/patents?id=K7MoAAAAEBAJ&printsec=a... If you want to check a unique serial number securely, either over the phone or net you are violating this patent. Seems a little broad.

The same way you can tell someone is from the west as opposed to east. Cultural idiosyncrasies.

Agree that work plays a huge role in relationship breakdown. Even if you you can't see how, and you feel you're being rational. When you remove yourself from a stressful work environment, it soon becomes apparent that your attitude toward

Hilariously contradictory response from CBS: "CBS has nothing but the highest regard for the editors and writers at CNET, and has managed that business with respect as part of its CBS Interactive division since it was acquired in 2008. Thi

Do we know Ed doesn't suffer from depression? The hypocrisy of the TC article is disgusting. They're recklessly throwing stones at people who may be in delicate positions themselves. As far as I can tell the TC article was designed to elici

I think it does do more. It ads another degree of accountability to people with power. It might not be much, but it's something. One small anecdote; a development in a local suburb is hitting a brick wall because the media has revealed a re

Reminds me of the early Kinect marketing videos before it was released. Skateboards being scanned in etc. Great ideas, but I'll believe it when it ships.

These guys are really betting against dirty energy. Google could eventually become the Rockefeller of renewable energy.

I think the title is misleading... "The girl’s father, Steven, wrote the school district explaining why removing the chip wasn’t good enough" The title should read "Student Suspended for Refusing to Wear ID Loses Lawsuit" This case had li
