From feathers to fools
It's just plain fun to see how everybody's current-favourite hype object, Skype, fares these days in news and media. Robert X. Cringely's entertaining, but plainly imaginary, PBS post on the $3 billion sale of Skype to Robert Murdoch has suddenly gone from fiction to fact with The Sunday Times, Reuters and a slew of other 'serious' news reports "quoting anonymous sources". My ass.
Sure, the interest from Murdoch and the price is no doubt possible, but it's scary how poor a job the news reports do at researching their material. Baaah.
