    I find it hard to believe that this is news for nerds, stuff that MATTERS, when the recent Cringely article about the death of his son and Cringely's call for help sent to geeks everywhere was rejected.

    Here is the first column.

    Here is the follow-up that he promised not ot do.

    Editors, get your priorities straight. We expect more from you. Stories about someone going to the hospital don't count.

    Is this REALLY off-topic? Read the links prior to modding.

      Since I want of my Karma-Kap too, I'll also agree with you. Well, sort off. This is more interesting to me than most of Ask Slashdot.
