I still find it really surprising that people who
purport to write useful
columns and articles, even if its blogging and not mainstream news, do such
piss poor research. If it were me, I'd be embarrassed to have written
something that demonstrates such a high level of ignorance and
misunderstanding - particularly since Wikipedia and Wikimedia are not, in
any sense, minor elements of the Web world and ArsTechnica is, supposedly,
"plugged in" to the Web and technology.
Ad-banner trolling.
The tech press in general are whores, cheap diseased ones. Previously
whores to print advertisers, now whores to ad-banner trolling. So
unsubstantiable bullshit is the order of the day, because IT GETS THE
CLICKS.
It's so much nicer dealing with the mainstream press - at least they
can spell "journalism."
