iPhonehacks.com Is Despicable

As an iPhone owner, I try to keep up on iPhone developments, including hacks. The good news is that there is plenty of development on opening up the device. The bad news is that one of the leading iPhone-hacks Web sites, iphonehacks.com, is 100 percent terrible.

First, their writing is abysmal. Sure, the primary (and only?) writer is not a native English speaker, but that is no excuse (don’t write in English!).

Second, they do not own an iPhone!

So how do they cover iPhone developments? Well, this is the third part: they just regurgitate what is on other sites.

Fourth, their regurgitation is really just ripping off. Rarely are any of the information sources cited and even more rare are links to the sites that provided the tip. In fact, in at least one instance, iphonehacks.com simply copied and pasted a Gizmodo post and didn’t provide a link!

I am boycotting these guys for being total journalist hacks. Ethics, boys! Ethics!
