I guess I was wrong a year ago when I tried to call it. They didn't even bother finishing the federation bit and decided to implement just enough to suck it dry.
Color me shocked.

Sigh. Those were the days. Personal computing was a whole new world and BYTE was my gateway to it.
Thanks for the link and thanks for all your articles in BYTE. They were always some of the most thought provoking and made my head buzz with ideas and possibilities.

It could well be that people are abandoning WaPo because it's going to shit, but, even if it was a pillar of journalism, people still wouldn't pay because they think news is "free" elsewhere.
There is no "free" of course - you pay with your identity, your eyeballs and your privacy - but […]

It's the fiftieth anniversary of the movie of the same name on the 4th of June next year. Was it a coincidence you posted on the 4th June?
I saw the movie at the drive-in with my girlfriend when it first came out. Fond memories, but not necessarily of the film.
I'm sure it's not […]

I thought that I was relatively safe from this insanity in Australia, but our opposition coalition is polling to win the election in a matter of weeks.
Their leader seems to think Trump is a reasonable chap and that we should follow his lead on government spending, bureaucracy and […]

Because there are no journalists left.
Of course there are plenty of good people who will present the truth, but they’re scattered and disorganized and don’t have the reach of Big “Journalism”.
