David Pogue Arrested

[swingerofbirch]

I thought this might be of minor interest, as David Pogue is often thought of as a bit of an Apple-evangelist in his videos and articles about Apple.

He was apparently arrested, along with his wife, for disorderly conduct after a domestic dispute, just days before he spoke (today) at a conference on domestic violence.

Why is this relevant to technology? Everyone has their personal demons and whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

He is a technology columnist for the NY Times, often appears at Apple trade events, posts videos about Apple products, etc. There are often stories about the personal lives of people involved in technology on Macrumors and elsewhere.

Personally, I don't think Pogue is demonic (that's supposed to be a joke, in reference to personal demons); though, I've never cared for his song and dance numbers. I have no idea if he is guilty or not—he was charged and arrested—not convicted, and I don't think I implied otherwise. Just though it might be of interest, but I could be wrong.

Because he's a well known Mac user and pundit. He's written books on computers and Macs, along with articles, columns and has a very mac focus.
