David Pogue nails the tech web with one simple sentence:

“Seems like every time an exciting, breakthrough product comes along, certain readers trip over themselves to disparage it—even though they’ve never even tried the thing.”

Here’s how it works. Company A releases a novel and interesting product or service. The “cool” response is to point out why it’s crap. It’s unfortunate that weblog comments have become a liability instead of an asset, but it’s true. Lifehacker has the best solution.
