CNN, Steve Jobs, and a dodgy rumour
The ''mainstream" press is alive with such pieces these days.
Thing is, like the political commentariat's odd, slavish support of bunker-mentality policy, when they do so on, ironically, their blogs, they get rightly slaughtered.
The lazy, arrogant notion that we should believe anything we read any more is spectacular, especially from the BBC, and that there is this odd notion that sources might not be trustedworthy in not posting porkies without being verified is a professional own goal of the highest order.
Guardian - Slavish reporters join Microsoft in cloud cuckoo land
I'm not sure, but it seems some in the Guardian at least are seeing Aunty as a relative whose marble retention might suggest some distance is required.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
