Gizmodo posted a slightly snotty review of a CD-ripping product, and were contacted by the inventor, who went really crazy on them:
If you want to pontificate or seek self-aggrandizement either go into politics or don’t do it at someone else’s expense. Your business credentials don’t justify such public scathing of something you have no first hand info about. “Think before you speak”…or get a towel and some lotion and head for the bathroom…might be more fulfilling and won’t be at the expense of others.

No need to respond. Just grow up.

They did a little digging on "Sandy" -- Sanford B. Schupper -- and discovered that he was a convicted fraudster out on bail who has gone on record as promising that his lame-o CD-ripper will earn him enough dough to pay back all the money he stole. Link

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
