Randall C. Kennedy

Randall C Kennedy has been fired from his role as a blogger at Infoworld after it was discovered that he had been using a false name to represent his business interests.

Turns out that the oft-quoted "Craig Barth," CTO of Devil Mountain Software (which analyzes the performance of Windows software), was none other than Kennedy himself. The tech world has taken something of a dim view of the fact that Kennedy adopted an alter ego to hide the fact that he was writing an influential blog about Windows performance at the same time as he was running a company that specializes in exposing Windows performance issues.
