PC World Reinstates Honest EIC, Dumps Apple-Shill CEO
In a triumph of editorial integrity over corporate greed, PC World reinstates its veteran editor-in-chief and removes its Apple-shill CEO.
In a surprise reversal, IDG management removed Colin Crawford as PC World’s CEO and reinstated Harry McCracken as Editor in Chief, after a dispute over a canceled Apple story led McCracken to quit.
Crawford, meanwhile, is being kicked back upstairs, assigned to “driving IDG’s online strategy and initiatives” — a nice, safe, strategic role where he can’t do any more harm to the company’s editorial reputation.
Crawford used to take calls from Steve Jobs whenever the latter had a problem with a PC World article. Good riddance to bad garbage.
GMA to Destroy Shaider
Philippine TV network GMA is about to make their own version of the tokusatsu classic Shaider. The genius director they’ve chosen for the job? Dominic Zapata, the same guy who ripped off Sailormoon and denied it. The show will replace GMA’s short-lived Indiana Jones/Lara Croft double ripoff Asian Treasures.
Oh yeah, all this rehashing and bastardization will definitely save GMA’s falling profits.
