Tech Wankers. Technology news, opinions, commentary and humor.

They’re not in it for the money because quite frankly, connecting people on internet is WAY WAY WAY more important than, say, I don’t know.. saving starving African babies that Angelina Jolie might force her legal custody over despite the black kid’s morbid fear of white people for…

After a late night meeting, we can now officially confirm that the holy bible of tech blogs, Techcrunch has acquired Techwankers. At present, we cannot disclose the financial details (but both myself and Wanksta are buying the drinks tonight over at Blue Chalk in Palo Alto).

We got Michael Arrington (founder of Techcrunch) to provide the…

Its been about 3 months that we started Techwankers, so we thought we’ll share some data on our current state.

Techcunch : we are banned from posting any comments. (This was right after our post on MG Siegler).
Google: our contents was not to their approval.

Techcrunch posted an interesting post today on a leaked My Space app review doc by a UI design ‘expert’.
The doc is located on scribd. It’s titled ‘Apps Expert Review’. Expert???
First, the docs looked like it was scribbled over by a 3 year old with color crayons.

The ‘expert’ advice : ‘the button must follow style guides’,…

Today’s tragic accident bought out the comment trolls in droves.  Comment trolls are probably the worst side of the internet/blogs.  (The techwankers are a close second).
