I actually stopped reading Gizmodo because i thought the article where they
made him cry a few years back was too far. Shaming a 15 year old kid publicly
no matter how annoying seemed too far. Now he successfully gets summly
acquired and the support for and shade that has been thrown at this kid has
been so massive. I still don't know what to think of the kid, but I do think
that SRI's tech definitely meets the needs of Yahoo and would fit perfectly
with their media content.

I don't like how they treated him.

However I think it does expose the difference between media reporting(tech
genius,visionary, future leader, hard working) and actual
reality(Narcissistic, child like, unprofessional). And those traits have been
exposed again, since he claimed to invent the tech and developed the app in
the media. Media have hailed shower of praises, mainly because he uses a top
PR agency.

Its kind of depressing for me, because it seems to mean being showy, and
having a good PR facade is worth far more than people doing the actual work.
