 Register fails to register...

Is it me or is the quality of stuff being reported on the register going bit downhill?

Now I don't have a problem with the BOFH and stuff like mp3 breast implants as it gives me something to read on a late friday afternoon, but when you get unqualified quotes from people like Gavin Clarke such as "rather poorly architected application server" it makes you wonder where the quality is. How many applications servers have you architectured then mate? And did he totally miss the point of the 'free software' thing or what?

I used to find their 'analysis' quite insightful, even when it was pretty hostile to Sun (hey, we screwed up a few times, fair do's ;-), but I'm picking and choosing nowadays. It's like some of their commentators just like making waves to get noticed, and that's just cheapo journalism.

ps. Gets even worse... This diatribe by Andrew Orlowski on web 2.0 is just comical. Er, guys, I think you need to stop taking your 'surveys' quite so seriously. Every new wave of technology gets over-hyped, live with it. Doesn't make it any less relevant in the long term.
