I enjoy my issues of PCMagazine and have enjoyed Dvoracks articles in the past. However, his appearance as guest blogger makes me confused. I come to Boingx2 for "off the beaten path" news and tolerate the lefty activist slant, because I believe the contributors to be good intelligent people who are inspired and on the edge.(even if they are wrong.)
What is next? Pop-up ads?
Is this a sell out? Were you bribed? (Not that that is a "bad thing" in today's economy.)
Will we have to register like the NYT or fill out questionnaires like the WA Post? Will PC Magazine start running stories by Doctorow, Frauenfelder and Jardin? I just finished reading the story about blogs by Dvorak, and now he is part of my daily breakfast? Feyah! Patoo!

If this is a test marketing, I am sorry but I want indie, slightly irreverent, and underground not to be mixed with my mainstream authors. (Not that I really read the guest bloggers that much . But that last robot gal was stout, I loved her stuff.)

This is like reading MAD magazine and the guest illustrator is Norman Rockwell. This is like Lucky Charms with bits of steak, I love the two SEPARATELY.
