I have no affiliation with Engadget (in fact, I've spent over a decade working at competitors to Engadget). But I've found that it makes sense to evaluate news organizations' output on an article-by-article basis. Even the best news organizations can screw things up on occasion, and even excellent reporters can be assigned derivative stories by their editors.

The article-by-article approach is what http://recent.io/ uses in its pipeline, which is working very well in testing so far.

More to the point, this looks like a perfectly decent story and an engaging read. The writer even managed to avoid being snarky about Samsung trying (sigh) to second-guess John Carmack!

Why's that?
