TechCrunch fires writer who abused position
Kudos to Mike Arrington for immediately disclosing his discovery that a young TechCrunch writer solicited expensive gifts from the startups on his beat. Unfortunately, the sacked 17-year old doesn't seem willing to accept much responsibility, writing that 'In some way or another, a line was crossed'. See, readers? There are good uses for the passive voice!
