I find that Tech Industry folks are often worse about such things, you have the mental laziness added to a nice dose of "not our idea" and you get even less imagination bubbling out. 
At the same time, I also agree that it shouldn't be this way, "tech" folks and "journalists" really ought to be amongst the more critical thinkers on such matters, it's just that they usually aren't |
I wasn't trying to suggest that you were, but now that I reread my comment it does sound like that a little. so oops, and sorry.
It was more like I was bemoaning the fact. I was abit ticked off with Matt Millers post, and kind of took from there.
The irritating part is that most of these reporters will spend days trying to track down a single rumour about one of the big players like Apple, Nokia, etc but give them a little something outside their usual scope they appear to switch off their thinking.
