What’s wrong with you… Mac pundits?

Really, where do you get it from?
Take a look at Peter Mortensen. He’s a possibly respected nearly journalist. He thinks that the guy who dropped his iPhone on an interstate where it was subsequently run over by a semi-truck should be hired by Apple. Uh, WTF?
I’d like the Mythbusters to put this one to the test. Even if the phone survives, I got one better.
When I was about 8 my Dad bought be a roulette game (yup, I started gambling young.) We were on a road trip back from Vegas, windows down. I had my little coin operated roulette wheel in hand and the paper table on my lap. Get this. Seriously, I couldn’t believe this happened. The paper table blew out the window! I yelled, screamed at my Dad to go get it. The great Dad he is, he pulled off the road and then ran up and down the highway to find that piece of paper. And by god he found it! That piece of paper, probably printed in China survived being sucked out of the window of a car doing about 80Mph. It had some tears, but I rolled up my window and kept gambling.
The company that printed that piece of paper should have hired me. And hell, my Dad too.
Let’s move on though, to the guy who wrote this “An iPhone Knockoff So Godd It’s Probably Being Made In The Same Factory”
Thanks Philip. But, do tell, exactly how did you come to the conclusion that it is probably made in the same factory, as I presume, the iPhone is made in? Oh, and, thanks, Godd.
I think what I love most about Philip’s posts is how he the photos he uses come “courtesy” of other sources, yet he never links back to those stories.
An important part of journalism is qualifying what you say. Give a source for what you say, or at least how you came up with it.
There are THREE subjects in every story that you write. The first subject, is of course, the author. The second subject is that or whom the author is writing about. But the most important subject of any story is the reader. Ask yourself the questions you think the reader may ask, and answer them.
