We need a BBC-WATCHDOG for tech alone...

While I agree with your advice about 'horses for courses', its just too impractical for the likes of Mom, Girlfriend, Friends, rest of family etc...

PCWorld is part of a larger group that thrives on throwing money on marketing... And... we live in a marketing driven world, where IT pitfalls are routinely blurred by PR-suits...

So where are the tech media gurus to warn users like Amy or Mom? Unless its Twitter or Facebag, tech just isn't deemed sexy enough, so the mass media never cuts through the bullshit (even BBC Click is too pollyannic with advice). The core problem here, is that brand is king, and truth is dead!
