I doubt that he'll have a serious problem finding employment. There are a few editorial sites that atleast seem to be unbiased. http://www.hexus.net/ springs to mind, as I recall their editors blasted a vendor after a fight ensued over a negative product review.
I also doubt that he has any serious need for corporate employment after 16 years at IDG. Also, his credentials will afford him the opportunity to have an independent blog and make some money from it. If anything I'm more likely to go read his material now than I ever was before.
Kudos for ethics, regardless of how unpopular they may be.
As for who reads tech magazines: my boss does, unfortunately he doesn't bother to ever accomplish any work because thats all he ever does. Personally, if all computer magazines were destroyed my life might be a little easier!
I agree that China needs to work on its human rights issues first. In another sens eI can understand why they want to implement a system like this, although given that China likes to ban things (i do believe they banned at least some form of blogging fairly recently) and then un-ban them, I wonder how long this rash, harsh measure will last. Some people criticize America (and rightfully so in many instances) but atleast I don't have to live with asinine restrictions on how long I can play a video game.
