The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly In Technology
from the sad dept
An article summarizing some of the good, the bad, and the ugly in what has come out of this in the technology world. There definitely has been a lot of good, but a few bad seeds are looking for ways to profit on this tragedy - which is just sick. On a personal note, I've noticed that people on the roads and in stores that I've been in throughout the Bay Area have been a lot nicer since this happened. Maybe I'm making it up, but it seems that people are realizing that there are things more important than cutting into traffic.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
