Journalistic integrity. . .

> Is there no journalistic integrity left?

In the technical press? There never has been any. In the general press? Not for at least 20 years now, probably more.

If you click Ready-to-ship under Portable Computing, you're asked to register, after which you can presumably see what they offer. I don't register for anything unless I'm really interested, but if you're interested you might want to.
