| What gets me about the Register and its reporting is just how | anti-Apple, & anti-Adobe they are. |

In my experience TheRegister is the most informative and technically knowledgeable of all the tech news sites. They're my first stop every morning. I don't think they're specifically anti-anything. What they are, though, is snide. It seems to be a British tradition to "report from the gutter". They love to put down anyone, whether it's Oracle, Microsoft, Adobe, Apple, Google, Facebook, or even a man caught humping a picnic table or dead deer. (Ouch.) And their headlines can be frustrating. Often I skip articles because I simply can't decipher the overly clever and/or juvenile headline. But if you weren't biased yourself I think you'd find plenty of criticism of Microsoft, Yahoo, and just about everyone else.

their articles consistently have numerous technical errors.

Stories about crashed clouds are an especially hot topic these days, no matter whose cloud it is, because the issue of whether the cloud fad has staying power is a hot topic.

the cloud is *not* a fad.

anyone who thinks it is has missed the boat. heck they're not even at the pier. the cloud is here to stay and is going to become *more* common.

writing about cloud issues is nothing more than linkbait. everything has issues of some sort or another.

you don't see articles about hard drive crashes, do you? you don't see articles about power outages, do you?

either of those will cause an interruption in the user's work, possibly with data loss and maybe a *lot* of data loss. it's what keeps drive recovery companies in business.

a cloud outage might be annoying, but the data won't be lost.
