Portuguese tech reporters are that bad
,----[ Quote ]
| As you might notice, the portuguese article is a copy from the guardian,
| which was imprecise and the local clueless reporter just turn it worse.
| Calling DDoS a virus, saying that the attack was for London and putting the
| information leak paragraph out of any context, it just reveals how bad are
| tech reporters here.

Bing Search Tainted by Pro-Microsoft Results
,----[ Quote ]
| The first of the search results about the Microsoft Word question linked to a
| page about how expensive Manhattan is (Is Microsoft competing with Manhattan
| now?). The top responses to the "Is Microsoft Evil?" question were, get this,
| a link to a New York Times story about whether or not Google is considered
| evil, a link about proxy servers, and a link to a story about Microsoft being
| charitable. Wow.
