Here's what brought this about. I found a worldwide tech issue was occurring with one of the biggest TV manufacturers on the globe. There internet interface was having serious issues and twitter was alive with people worldwide having the same issue as myself. Liking abit of the Apple vs Samsung, Apple vs google banter I reported what the we (the effected people) were seeing to a number of tech journalists I followed via twitter thinking they would make a nice fuss over this. The best I got back was a short tweet saying: Link? Link??? I'm giving you live issues and you want to see another website that has already reported on this?
Anyway the issue was sorted after roughly 3 days... I can only think that none of the 'journalists' where affected by this..or maybe it didn't affect users in the states.. and of course the world revolves around San Francisco doesn't it? Doesn't it??....
Today the whole thing was reinforced when a well known (in tech circles) Journalist quietly announced.. well on a website and on twitter (shouting from the highest hilltop in other words) that he had changed from a certain mobile device platform to the main contender's platform.. And it just so happened that this occurred on the same day he records his most popular Internet radio show... I actually followed some of these guys on twitter for awhile.. I suggested that he should consider giving up his position on this (platform specific) internet show as he no longer was a user of the platform. Strangely I got no reply.. I finally come to realise that these designers of trends are just that.. They have less technical ability than me and any number of other on the ground techies yet they are held in high esteem simple for being able to string a sentence together. So I urge you.. by all means watch/listen to these podcast's but plz understand they are journalists like any other.. and they write/broadcast because they cant do the real tech work. treat it as entertainment..
