Exactly. Could give even less of a toss.
I agree with the sentiment of Ian Davies - the quality of the reporting at the Reg is noticeably in decline and has been for months. I have no idea what the editors (if there are such people) are up to but it's really depressing that their policy seems to be so lax.
It's actually indicative of the whole industry. It's getting so boring. Doesn't matter which company or product is being discussed but it's the same. You've got the lovers, the haters and the trolls. It's the same at ThinkSecret, at Slashdot, at ... I want to know what caused so many people to get so wound up by issues that rarely affect them. I've no idea why the comments here are moderated, because it seems like any old crap gets through, so instead of the comment system being used by people to actually further the discussion of the original article, it invariably gets filled up with shite.
Case in point - Apple released an iPhone and some people bought it, then they dropped the price. That's what happened. Why are there so many morons who care so much? Haven't you got anything better to do with your time?
I've been reading The Reg for almost 7 years or so and it pains me to say this, but someone needs to start doing some serious editing of its stories and its comments. Otherwise, the only reason to visit will be on a Friday afternoon for the BOFH.
