Scoble Annoys Me

Posted at 10:35 am under Annoying

So you’re a tech journalist who’s mostly respected in the tech world. People know your name and look forward to your opinion. For part of a new show you’re doing on your underwatched and barely heard of video project that a company sank a ton of money into, you visit the studios of Ansel Adams who is one of the greatest photographers ever to have walked the face of the earth.

So what do you do when you see his equipment?

Do you stand back in awe?

Are you struck by the power of the equipment you’re seeing?

Do you show it the respect and dignity you would think such a man has earned?

Not if you’re Robert Scoble…

Now here’s the thing… Do you think Robert would dare walk into Seagate’s clean rooms and start handling platters for hard drives or chips without a bunny suit?

Hell’s no.

But he has no problem shoving his shoes and fat ass into a developing tub while laughing along with the dopes he’s in there with.

Really classy, Robert.

    Incredible lack of awareness. It’s beyond embarrassing.
