[Am-info] Boston Globe piece this AM

[Jeff Wasel]

I don't think it's so much a matter of shame as it is one of ignorance and
sloth. I've seen enough pundit press to conclude that often the "source"
tends to be as much urban myth as fact. I thought the piece was fairly
balanced, given that Computer World and Information Week have said roughly
the same thing. I sent him (the Globe's columnist) a note echoing T.
Guilbert's observation about nerdiness and usability vs. reliability; I used
Apache as an example of the Linux model as a pillar of reliability, so let's
see what he comes back with...

Hope all you folks are doing well-

Jeff

Seriously, don't these "journalists" have any shame whatsoever?
