ABOUT ELIZABETH

Hi. I’m a journalist in New York City. I specialize in business reporting, primarily about technology.

From 2005 to 2007 I worked at BusinessWeek, writing about anti-shoplifting technology, highly leveraged companies and architectural innovation, among other topics.

Between 2007 and 2012, I covered technology for Forbes, with a focus on the telecom/mobile industry. Of the hundreds of stories I wrote there, favorites include: an inside look at Palm’s reinvention, how South Korea is battling Internet addiction, the saga of a politically incorrect iPhone developer, the process of creating a font just for a cellphone, colleges that are giving away iPhones or teaching iPhone development or both, behind-the-scenes of Verizon’s quality testing lab, a profile of the payments start-up processingĀ Occupy Wall Street’s online donations and an introduction to the video-chat service that is a mega-hit with teenagers. In 2011, while at Forbes, I was votedĀ one of the mobile industry’s top 20 “smart mobile device pundits”.

Driven by a keen interest in Asia, I have lived in Seoul, where I studied Korean, and Hong Kong, where I interned at Time Asia. I have also reported from Taiwan, courtesy of a National Press Foundation fellowship.

I have a B.A. from Yale and an M.S. in journalism from Columbia, where I was the recipient of a Pulitzer Traveling Fellowship.

I know my last name is difficult to pronounce; please don’t worry about saying it wrong.

  1. How long can the dessert pattern continue for Android’s nickname? For ‘K’, these came up from search:

    Kahula mousse brownies
    Kraft cheesecake

    These are brand names, so would Google have to get permission to use one of these?

    • Thanks, those are some interesting suggestions. Google’s Android names are informal, sort of akin to nicknames, so I don’t think it would need permission. My guess is that Google would only choose generic names for its Android versions anyway.
