Walt Mossberg: Nook is not fully baked yet
Not too positive, but more balanced than Pogue's:

Seems to me that he says almost the exact same thing as Pogue, just a little less emphasis on the screen issues; they both hammer home their belief that the nook release was rushed.
The difference between the articles is one of tone, not content. |

I agree-the Pogue review was written in typical David Pogue fashion-sarcastic, biting, and personal, and Mossberg's in typical Walt Mossberg understated style...but the content seemed pretty consistent, and also with what I've been reading around the web as well.

calling someone biased is not critical thinking.
How about attacking, ya know, the argument? |

I reported your post. Namecalling is against the rules.

See if it's even valid Ocean... Now learn what a rule is.

All right, folks, this is an Official Moderator-type "play nice" warning for all participants.
@Ocean -- more or less asking for a warning about trolling ... well that tends to make you look a bit more like a troll to a Moderator. Just sayin'. No one expects anyone to agree with anyone else on any particular thing, but when someone seems to be doing nothing but disagreeing, without much in the way of explaining why, it rather starts to seem like that person's intent is to be disagreable. Giving that impression to Moderators is not a healthy forum lifestyle-choice. Remember, everyone: moving closer and closer to a line without ever crossing it is the definition of an asymptote -- please don't be an asymptote. 'Kaythanksbye! |

Okay, let me be plainer: You're at hazard of being banned for trolling.
Is that clearer? |
