Reading this article made me think whether I am actually paying attention to those who write the articles I read.<p>I can't say much of what I have read on ZDnet has been perfect but, I have read some interesting stuff on there. However, this article caught my eye as it is something I have often wondered. Being a self titled technology news site I was expecting some details/ analysis more in depth than what is given. Thinking this I tried to find out some more about the author and his qualifications to back up what he is writing. Couldn't really find much!<p>That said, of all the articles on HN I usually take the following to be reliable source.

- Good code - Good examples - A decent demo

And I usually don't question anything I read in the top 10 on HN.
