Ben Patterson’s Biography

I’ve been covering gadgets and technology for nearly 15 years. Before launching here’s the thing, I was the Gadget Hound blogger on Yahoo! News. My articles have also appeared in TIME, All You, PC Magazine, Wired, Men’s Fitness, Computer Shopper, Mobile Magazine, Mac|Life, and more. Previously, I was a senior editor at CNET and Editor-in-Chief of InfoSync World. I started my career in the early 90′s as a reporter at The Reporter, a daily newspaper in Vacaville, California—and back then, hardly anyone had a cell phone, much less an iPhone.
