  1. Slashdot only posts negative Apple & MS storie by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ... and only positive Google stories. I can't remember last time I saw a positive Apple or negative Google story on here. Slashdot didn't even cover the recent story about Google divulging personal information about everyone who buys anything from Google Play.

    And then people wonder why this site has been sold so many times and why the site is losing users left & right (and losing staff).

    It's all about credibility. And /. has lost most of it. Sad what the site has become.
