      His Bio seems legit, I'd read it.

      "The pseudonymous author Robert X. Cringely® has been covering the foibles and follies of Silicon Valley since 1986, and writes InfoWorld's Notes from the Field blog. With a fedora on his head and a keyboard in his hands, he wrangles rumors, gathers gossip, and reports the stories the world's high-tech honchos don't want you to hear."

        I have always felt that Cringley doesn't make that publication look very serious.

            Could be. I think that he's been around for a long time. That kinda sounds familiar.

              His writing comes across like he has a giant chip on his shoulder towards Amazon. I mean it's fine to call a spade a spade, but geez, have a little dignity.

                I'd have a chip on my shoulder if they banned me from their events, too. Then again, I wouldn't have done what he did in order to get banned.

                  He comes across as bitter and pathetic, and not at all funny. How does he still have a job?

                    Couldn't have said it better myself!

                      People still read his stuff and post links on other sites...

                        I suspect that he is very cheap and controversial.

                          @alexntg No one here has had anything to say about what he wrote, only how he wrote it. After reading that article, Infoworld has gone down a bit in reputation in my eyes.

                            And controversy sells ads.

                              InfoWorld definitely isn't on par with QuinnStreet's publications.
