Sneak Peak Saturday
Unveiling overlooked tech news with a sprinkle of satire.
Peak 🏔️ vs. Peek 👀
Yes, a play on words.
By Friday, everything seems to be reaching the peak of getting news turned in before a deadline or dread-line.
Why Sneak Peak?
It sometimes seems like we reach a fever pitch in news coverage throughout the week. Then there is a trope, cliché, or bromide about slow news days and the quietly mentioned news updates sent on a Friday — to try and sneak it past wider coverage. Or, in a nutshell, peak patronizing publishing.
In that spirit, here are a few stories that you might have missed on the slow news of a Friday.
