Confessions of an Internet "Shock Jock"

An anonymous reader followed up on the Windows memory-leak fraud scandal, which is worth reading before you read the perpetrator's justification. "Randall C. Kennedy comes clean about his past, his relationship to Craig Barth and how it all came tumbling down. Includes an inside look at the politics of IDG and why you can never trust an IT publication that's as obsessed with page views as InfoWorld."

Not going to read it

Why would I give this asshole yet another page view? What could the article possibly say that would make me think he's not a lying asshole? I think this is one case where everyone shouldn't RTFA. Oh, wait. I'm new here...

Interesting

I've never seen a CV written in a format like that before.

I'm shocked, shocked to find out people are writing tech columns just for page views.

I see it as confirmation that Blogging and the "Blogosphere" is an empty and thoughtless echo chamber.

Wow. Your brush was so broad, you tarred yourself in the process. Nice.

Where's the "downfall" part?

You mean the part where Hitler starts yelling at his officers for listening to internet Shock Jocks and complaining about how much money he lost on this scandal? I bet it should be up in youtube by now.
