I saw this on my feed, opened the tab on the background, saw it was from MG Siegler, closed the tab. I don't deny he doesn't have some genuine insight. I just find that the amount of work I have to do to sift past his bias is so draining th

Well, you can’t do complex office tasks on tablets yet, I think. Anything that requires you to input a lot of text input still can't be done well on tablets. That includes any serious amount of writing. Unless someone here already does thei

I'm genuinely disappointed that this link actually made it past TechMeme and HN. It kind of exemplifies everything that made me quit reading the TechCrunch feed -- the smug bias, the obvious link-bait troll title, and the sloppy conclusions
