Long form journalism on the web

Maybe it's my age showing, maybe it's the liberal arts college talking; or maybe who knows why but lately there have been some really excellent long form articles on the internet.  It might be better to say, there have been some articles that are very long that I've enjoyed on the internet lately.  Either way, here are a few of them.


Forbes lays out the tragi-comic clusterfuck of HP's long slow decline.

The Verge wrote a interesting article on the practices and process of online scammers.

The New York Times did a piece on frightening children.


That's been the best of my weeks reading, how about you, any good reads of late?  I still working on my Rise of the Meritocracy follow up post.  I want to get it read before I add much more but thus far, at around 1/3 of the way through it I feel like the summary would be enough to get the real value of the book.  Some of the specific though fictional "how it played out" is interesting to see how closely his predictions charted with real history, but otherwise don't add any real context to the crux of his argument in my opinion.  Again, I'm not done yet so my opinion may be swayed.
