>Microsoft issues patch for "serious" XP hole

The above was about a one inch solid across the page headline in the
Seattle PI.  My response, of course, why should a fact an inevitable as
fish swimming in the sea and water running down hill be a headline?

Interestingly, today's WSJ had an article about MS to the states remedy
proposal.  It wants to subpoena people from AOL and Sun to prove, not that
the remedies have an economic justification, but that the that AOL and Sun
and not the Court of Appeals' findings are behind the proposal.  But when
today I read a front page NY Times headline how Bill Clinton is trying to
figure out how to become significant again or something like that, I guess
I should not be surprised.  It is all hype and marketing.
