Geeks won&#8217;t read between the lines and, instead, feel angry at RIM and comment on BGR with &#8220;OMG SRSLY!?!?

It&#8217;s business as usual until that day. My dream project of starting a blog that keeps track of and calls out tech blogs for being wrong is sounding more and more appealing each day. I&#8217;d love to partner with someone on it. Keep track of blogs who post shit like this, wait for that rumor to never come true (1 year later sounds about right) and then remind everyone how stupid they were for believing it. We should also keep track of which tech blogs says idiotic things the most.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BoyGeniusReport: RIM to discontinue Wi-Fi BlackBerry PlayBook?
