Tech Douche Bag Of The Month: Don Reisinger


Ok I know I'm not some sort of Messiah when it comes to Tech blogging, I'm an armature Tech blogger I don't get paid for this and I do it just as a hobby, and I certainly don't claim to know everything. But there are a lot of douche bags out there who are purported Tech blogger and they freaking suck. So I've decided to start the "Tech Douche Bag Of The Month" award. This month goes to CNets: Don Reisinger.

I don't like CNet, however I find myself constantly reading it for some unknown reason. It's like train wreck, you don't want to stare but you do it anyway for no reason.

But when I do read it, this guy Don Reisinger, is a giant tool. I don't know where he get's his ideas to write about. It's as if he has a crap idea machine and he just picks the crappiest of the crap and decides to write about it. I don't even know how to explain is douche-ness but it's pretty douche.

Like one of his latest entries, about how Apple needs to lower it's prices on computers to be more competitive with Windows Machines. Hello, Apple doesn't need to lower it's prices and they are still selling plenty of computers and their year over year grown is outstanding. That's like saying Mercedes or BMW should lower their prices so they can compete with Toyota and Honda, freaking retard. Apple is in the "luxury premium" laptop market, why would they lower their standards to half-assed HP's or Dells. Additionally while Apple is interested in Market Share of the PC industry, that is not their primarily focus, their primary focus is the user experience and making the best products they can. They aren't too concerned with squeezing out just as many laptops to the market as HP or Dell.

Not to mention that Apple probably has some pretty smart people in their marketing and sales teams that know what to charge for produces and services and this douche bag knows better than S.Jobs and the rest of the crew there? Doubtful, otherwise he'd be running Apple right?

Now don't get me wrong Apple doesn't make everything great, they make some pretty craptastic stuff too, does anyone remember the Newton, or iPod HiFi? Yeah no one does because these things blew more than a a 2 cent hooker in Bangkok on payday.

Anyway this is just a small sample of this retard you'd have to read more of his blog to get the full experience of this douchery. But take my word for it he's a tool and that's why he deserves this month's "Douche Bag of the Month" award. Don't be surprised if he wins it next month and the month after and the month after........
