Tech Blogosphere Strike Again

I have had my to do's with tech blogs and the bloggers that support them. It seems that in a world of one million and one blogs there is an ever increasing pressure to garner attention by breaking a big story at any cost. With the latest launch of a new microsoft product there was much to do about this black screen death sentence that was a factory defect. It seems that Prevx posted in a blog that there was a "big" problem with this black screen phenomena and put out the buyer beware. Prevx has since come out and claimed that maybe some information was "taken out of context" in there blog and claim to have apologized to microsoft. This is just another example where basic fact checking and diligent journalism would have prevented a stain on Prevx's reputation. There has has has to be a push for more clarity and ethics in these blogs.
