Remember the piece of shit story about Sony a few months back from BusinessWeek? The New York Times’ Hiroko Tabuchi actually interviewed people (OMG!) and wrote it up like a real reporter.
Almost exactly one year ago, John Gruber criticised the tendency of reviewers to grade to a curve in the context of tablets. Unfortunately, it’s been a year and things haven’t changed much.
