HP's board: Rude, uncouth, and bitchy
In the latest comment on the Hewlett-Packard leaker-snooping scandal, The New York Times spanks the board by suggesting that its members need a lesson in good behavior (and a night class in ethics). "People just don't have a lot of patience with this board anymore," one analyst tells the paper. More »

"Disturbing blog on respected news site" of the day: "Screens"
During the New Media Revolution, old-school journalism has learned one thing about bloggers: They're incoherent. Rough drafts and an insidery feel render blog posts nearly unreadable. (Take, for example, half the content on ZDNet's tech blogs. Or the first four months of Valleywag.) More »

On the upside, they got to use "yearn" in a headline
Remember how, in the aftermath of AOL releasing the records of 500,000 users, the New York Times found the one searcher who didn't look for filth? More »

NYT: Privacy is good, except when we want a killer story
The New York Times, fresh off of exploiting AOL's invasion of its users' privacy by hunting down an AOL user and profiling her, has rediscovered its passion for privacy. Since Saturday, the paper's tech section managed to print four stories about the concept of online privacy: More »

David Pogue amuses himself
Somewhere deep in the New York Times stylebook is the rule that all shopping columnists must be "quirky." David Pogue, master gadget and software reviewer, is the William Safire of the genre, and he's even better on video. In his latest clip, Pogue pulls off the best cheesy joke telling in history — just like your dad did around your high-school friends. More »

New York Times picks on Jason Calacanis
The New York Times documents the backlash against AOL's new interactive edition of Netscape.com in a story of dubious worth. Sure, a little ribbing's fine, but is it really news that the relaunch led by Weblogs, Inc. king Jason Calacanis caused a petition signed by under 2000 members? Not really. More »
