Interesting... the title for this story at
http://news.com.com/2100-1040-949364.html?tag=dd.ne.dht.nl-sty.0 is Flash flaw opens Windows for attack. (Mind you, that's capital "W" meaning the Windows OSes, not windows in the figurative or generic sense....) Any naysayers out there still want to claim that this site is unbiased, when the flaw affects both Windows and Unix equally (as the body of the article goes on to describe)? |

Ceazar >>> Yeah, I liked the way that they hid the Unix connection by mentioning it in the very first sentence of the atricle. You know, the sentence that was all bolded.
Yeah, that bolded sentence also appears of course in the link for that news story on every other news page on that site. No way. While reading other news, countless people see the link "Flash flaw opens Windows for attack," but never read the article. |
