I used to read InfoWorld at my last job (mainly because they bombarded us
with free copies of it). I generally found them a reasonably unbiased source
of IT news. Or at least, equally unbiased. They generally took the tact that
IT is a job to get done. Anything that made it easier was good; anything that
made it harder was bad. It was a good mix of IT and "business".

To be fair, as Linux has gained in popularity, the ratio of willing-helpers
to people-needing-help has dropped. That may have something to do with it.
