      Andrew Orlowski lives in San Francisco and his home page
    is http://www.yarbles.demon.co.uk/

    Here is information about him: "Andrew Orlowski works at
    <http://www.theregister.com>The Register. He runs a personal website at
    <http://www.badpress.net/>badpress.net. His articles are of varied quality
    - some genuine insights conflict with some dramatically unprofessional
    ranting with little justification. His current bugbear appears to be
    weblogs, which (simplistically) he appears to be "anti". He's also highly
    suspicious of Google and has a conspiratorial mindset. His grammar and
    spelling leave much to be desired and he has a tendency not to fact-check
    and to actively mischaracterise other people's opinions in order to support
    his position."

    His has a "tendency not to fact-check is characteristic of the LA
    Weekly. It seems to be a modernization of yellow-dog, as if it is hip to
    be factoidal.

    I couldn't locate a paper edition, Robin.
