I expect a real journalist to recognize hype for what it is, not fall for it before everyone else.
Jobs declared the end of the desktop PC earlier this year as well. By my calendar, the desktop PC has been "ending" for the last 6 years but neither AMD nor Intel are exactly slashing prices on their latest-gen desktop hardware so once again it appears it's safe for us to just let the press continue thinking it knows anything about the subject.
