Our take on the Seattle P-I
,----[ Quote ]
| Hearst announced today that it's putting the Seattle Post-Intelligencer up
| for sale. If no buyer is found in 60 days, the newspaper will either cease
| operations or move entirely online. Whatever happens, it looks like a lot of
| good journalists will be losing jobs.
|
| [...]
|
| "Awful. Angry. Depressed. Stunned," were the four words P-I reporter Mike
| Lewis used when asked to describe how he was feeling after the news was
| announced internally today following a report by KING 5 last night.
|
| The P-I has been around in various forms since 1863, making it one of the
| oldest businesses in the city. It has survived dozens of ups and downs over
| the years.

Is MS Preening in Public Posts?
,----[ Quote ]
| The author of the email, posted on ZDNet in a Talkback forum on the Microsoft
| antitrust trial, claimed her name was Michelle Bradley and that she
| had "retired" from Microsoft last week.
|
| "A verbal memo [no email allowed] was passed around the MS campus encouraging
| MS employee's to post to ZDNet articles like this one," the email said.
|
| "The theme is 'Microsoft is responsible for all good things in computerdom.'
| The government has no right to prevent MS from doing anything. Period.
| The 'memo' suggests we use fictional names and state and to identify
| ourselves as students," the author claimed.
