Hiawatha Bray

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

‘’‘Hiawatha Bray’’’ is a technology columnist for the ’’Boston Globe’’. Born in Chicago, he started as a reporter and managing editor for ’‘Computerpeople Weekly’’.

He joined the ’‘Boston Globe’’ in 1995. He has received the John Hancock Award for Business Journalism, and has been honored by the National Association of Black Journalists. ’‘Marketing Computers’’ magazine named him as one of the 10 most influential newspaper journalists covering technology.

He landed with an egg on his face when he made this assessment on the Apple iMac in the Boston Globe in 1998

"The iMac will only sell to some of the true believers. The iMac doesn't include a floppy disk drive drive for doing file backups or sharing of data. It's an astonishing lapse from Jobs, who should have learned better... the iMac is clean, elegant, floppy-free–and doomed.” — Hiawatha Bray in the Boston Globe, 1998.
