I posted a link to the article yesterday (no, I wasn't hising this story), but
soon afterwards I saw a batch of stories claiming it was coordinated FUD.
These stories came from major sites, not a Digg comment, which I just happened
to quote here.
Saying nasty thing about x is easy if you an find a case with some probability
y (e.g. the chance of a child punching in the address of an adult site).
Whether this can be turned into news is another matter altogether and it
depends on hidden agendas/ Be aware that the headline could be "OLPC gets
fileting features" with a short mention in the article of a story of some
mischievous kids. The original article was composed to shock, just like all
those articles (placement) where Microsoft talks patents. They add unnecessary
drama and they are unbalanced.
