N is for the young and stupid, where n = array("love", "war", "software")

I’m not sure what Winer is going on about. I’m a non-young reader, with a life, and I read both the arts pages and the tech pages of the New York Times with equal enjoyment. Both manage to avoid the po-faced presumption that suffuses so many of the Times’s news articles – the presentation of an official line, which has been the paper’s irritating and misleading practice in news stories for at least the past forty years. Both the arts coverage and the tech coverage are refreshingly lively. Well, usually.
