Silly

In a profile of danah boyd, who understands the Web better than they do, The NewYork Times writes, "In a juxtaposition that causes her no end of mischievous delight, her laptop bears a sticker of Snow White, whose outstretched arm gently cradled the Apple logo." Are they condescending to her as a girl or a geek?

Yes?

Also, they can't pick a tense and stick with it. It may not be *wrong,* in that it's in a clearly-separate clause, but "cradled" instead of "cradles" made me read the sentence twice, which is suboptimal.

Yes.

Second the "Yes," no question.

Hell, I understand the Web better than The New York Times, and I only grok enough HTML to get me in trouble.
