    I like how CNET adds the caveat that you are NOT an employee.

    you’re writing is unpolished, unprofessional, and immature. I don’t see how you can call yourself a “journalist.” You are simply a blogger with poor writing skills and strong opinions…..

    I am very impressed by the use of the euphemism “for years” whenever it comes to a quantifiable point - I suppose, anything longer than one year now counts as “for years”…

    Wow. I am amazed that people have that much negativity in their life to go out of there way to put down Mr. Reisinger. He is making money on what he enjoys. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

    The form says leave a reply or submit a comment - not a compliment. While I do read his blog posts at CNET and most of the time agree with his opinions, I would not label yourself a journalist or describe your career in that way without providing a proper CV so people can see what issues you have solved and for what companies. I would also suggest you change your photo on CNET because you look like a disgruntled employee of Circuit City who just lost his job. Your photo actually plays a role in how readers react to your blogs before even reading anything. Just think about it.

    I actually came here after reading “A $99 iPhone Isn’t Worth It”

    [Excerpt]

    “Sure, if I bought it, I’d be able to save $100 immediately and $15 each month on data, but when that cost is amortized over a year or two, the savings is just $19 to $23 per month. That’s two trips to Starbucks. Should I really buy such an underwhelming device that I would use everyday just so I can get two extra cups of coffee each month? I don’t think so.”

    I wondered if you are ‘kept’ by wealthy parents, or just that clueless (to assume that everyone would spring for an additional $500 per 2-years just to have faster internet in their pockets). In any case, I was pleasantly surprised to see that so many others have astutely observed the obvious: that you must be the son of a CNET founder to be writing/keep writing for that publication.

    I came here after reading “http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/10-Things-Apple-Doesnt-Want-You-to-Know-About-the-iPad-118317/”

    That was a laugh, a collection of cliches with an over promising title… Can’t take more than 5 minutes to put together such a “researched” and balanced article!

    I really enjoyed this! I would have to say this is an overly informative post that should get mentioning elsewhere. This is for 2 types of people:current writers who are considering a change in craft,and people trying to select to become a writer.

    Don Reisinger is surprisingly uninformed.
