How Not to Write a Review
John Biggs has posted an amusingly half-assed review of the iPhone 3G S (very favorable, but with no real thought put into it) over at TechCrunch. The comments are the real joy, however, with users blasting Biggs for writing what amounts to a cheap advertisement for the iPhone. They also rip apart this little bit:
First, an anecdote: when the iPhone first launched in 2007 I took it on a tour of Central Europe, namely Budapest and Warsaw. Communism had just fallen and the hopes and dreams of these benighted nations were dashed.
It didn’t take long for someone to point out that Biggs had his dates wrong. Checking the facts or researching a story? Not at TechCrunch.
