Not Negative Extension

Tech news without \"claim chowder\".

Daring Fireball is essential reading every day for any tech enthusiast.... but sometimes you could do without the snarky negativity, the political commentary, James Bond & Kubrick references & baseball.

Not Negative filters out John Gruber's commentary & non-tech stories from the site, leaving just the headlines & quotes from other sources. It's Apple news without the sharp bits... unless you want that, just click the permalinks & headlines to read the full unedited story.

Read the best tech news curation on the net without feeling grumpy about the world each morning. Keep the site insightful, just make it Not Negative. Enjoy!
