Seems to be going straight to the dogs..
The Register presented us today with this article which seems to be annoying at best. A long, pointless ramble making fun of some poor girl's weblog.. as far as I can tell simply because she happens to be a Microsoft employee.. Now whether this -- what can only be described as a rant, is deserved or not, I honestly don't know as I haven't read the blog in question.. My question is, how is this news? Even a tabloid would have better sense of newsworthy material... If this blog was required reading, I could see the point.. but as it is, I just don't.
It just stinks of spite and meanness.. not something I look for when I want to read news.
A blog is poorly written and has a parody.. whooptie freaking do.. there's a news story of the year for you..

I think it's great. The Reg is pretty good at making fun of people. I was very amused.
Now if they STOP covering real tech news, then I'd start to worry too.

A fair proportion of what appears in The Register, SlashDot et al is (by its very nature) conjecture, unsubstantiated industry rumour or plain regurgitated tabloid-esque style filler.
Two things:
You yourself point out that the blog concerned is not required reading so why are you so annoyed by it?
The Register records thousands of items a year - does this one piece really mean it "Seems to be going straight to the dogs.. "?
