ALEX VOCHIN
Alex is a true "gadget-holic". He's been with Softpedia for two and a half years, working as a technology and gadgets editor, watching (and reporting) as the world's tech and consumer electronics evolve. He considers himself lucky to be able to combine both work and hobbies (Internet, trying out and testing new toys and electronics).
Personal motto: "There is no spoon" - I've loved this idea since first seeing the movie, simply because I do believe that anyone can and should think "out of the box", have a larger perspective on things.
