Ziff Davis? Ziff freaking Davis? Isn't this the company that couldn't afford to keep a cable tv network about computers going, so they sold it to some other company, who couldn't afford to keep it on either so then THEY sold it to Comcast, who merged it with a channel about video games?
And isn't that same cable channel, the one that only has one show left still about computers*, replacing shows about videogames with the Man Show, Star Trek TNG, and some stupid A-Team show with Bill Bellamy?
And now ZD is talking about how geeks are hot?
Sure the economy's getting a little better, but WE ARE NOT LIVING IN THE YEAR 1997 ANYMORE! The bubble burst a freaking long time ago! Sorry, but this kind of nostalgic ignorance really boils me.

* PS: Attack Of The Show DOES NOT COUNT! AOTS is NOT the Screen Savers "blasted" with marketing ooze (self-censored). It's... aw heck, I don't even know what that show's about anymore, other than pumping it's own ego. I'm speaking of the Canadian produced Call For Help. Leo Laporte still freakin' rules, as far as I'm concerned. (remember when blasted was called frosted? yeah, now that I'm reaching 40, my hair's getting a little blasted)
