“Kirkpatrick, however, doesn’t see what the fuss is all about.

expensive (yet trashy looking) laptops to a number of bloggers over

following request that we not keep them after all! … Ok, so
obviously I’m being a bit snotty here and am in a position of
ridiculous privilege to get one of these things for free. I just
don’t think it’s anything to get your knickers in a twist about
given the state of the world.””
