Arthur Newman is the name of this site, not a byline. Articles are published by the editorial team; nobody of that name writes them, and no individual is credited on a page here.
What the site does is report consumer and business technology, and review games. Both halves are held to the same test: what does the thing actually do, at what cost, and how does that compare with what it was sold as.
The desks
- Business & work — outsourcing, recruitment, digital skills, and the companies whose stories became cautionary ones.
- Marketing — influencers, SEO, programmatic advertising, and what the numbers behind them mean.
- Phones & apps — handsets, messengers, navigation, streaming, networks.
- Emerging tech — the metaverse, AR, blockchain, IoT, read back with hindsight.
- Privacy & security — surveillance, spyware, the location-data market, disinformation.
- E-commerce & retail — marketplaces, payments, and consumer behaviour.
- Game reviews — ten reviews from 2023–24.
How we cover it
- A spec is a number in a disguise. A frame rate is a millisecond budget; a screen refresh is an interval; a battery figure is a discharge curve. Our frame-time table exists because the second number is the one that decides how a thing feels, and it is never the one on the box.
- An announcement is not a product. A large part of this archive is 2022, when the metaverse, augmented-reality glasses and several blockchains were being promised rather than shipped. We reported the promise as a promise, and it reads that way now.
- Technology writing rots fastest. Every page carries its date. If an article describes a service that has closed or a company that has been sold, the date is the first thing to check.
- No review copy, no affiliate links. Nothing here ranks products for commission.
Where the archive came from
Most of the technology reporting covers the Polish market and reached English through translation, which is where names, figures and company details tend to get bent. If you spot one, tell us — corrections are the most useful mail we get.
