...is to tell you only what’s important. And why. AnchorDesk is smart, insider analysis of important computer news, delivered directly to your email box. So you can know what you need to be thinking about today. Unlike other news services, we tell you only the top stories (and don’t overwhelm you with the rest). We explain how they affect you. And what you should do right now.

Our job is tell you the unvarnished truth about important technology news. We’re fiercely independent, and we’re not out to win popularity contests. When we catch vendors lying, we say so. If blunt talk offends you, you won’t enjoy AnchorDesk.

How it works

AnchorDesk offers a web site and a short email update. The two work together. If you’re a subscriber, several times a week you’ll receive a short email alerting you to key developments. When you need more information on any topic, you can find the stories repeated here at the Web site, along with additional analysis. Plus links to related news stories, lab results, commentaries, discussion groups, and much more. Basically, we do the work so you don’t have to.
