The Times’s technology columnist, David Pogue writes about [being blogged in the blogospere](//www.nytimes.com/2006/05/11/technology/11POGUE-EMAIL.html) and criticism of Ultra-Mobile PCs. Admittedly, I had to check myself during the buzz about Origami to not blurt out really negative posts and ask things like, “and what problem does this solve?” To me, the problem with Origami goes to what Apple does and does very well, “to continue to pursue devices with one primary feature and not focus on multiple functions in one device” and to “create the best products.” I wrote about that this morning on my [personal blog](http://texturadesign.com/2006/05/apples_secrets_and_stale_chips_1.htm) while reflecting on the 18 month [book](http://www.blogbusinessbook.com/) process.
Anyway, back to Pogue, he discusses how flops happen and the direct honestly of Microsoft’s bloggers that management apparently didn’t bother to listen to, ask, or they didn’t tell.
Pogue also finally launched [a real blog](http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/). Considering the baffling, double-secret probation method of viewing the content on the Times, I’m not sure if you can see it or not without a subscription and that select thingy.
