I should actually post about it, since the NYT got it right (contrary to my original post) FYI: Cnet picked up our comments on the whole situation (can I get a "yay Canada?") http://usatoday.com.com/2061-11199_3-6136493.html?part=rss&tag=2547-1_3-0-20&subj=news [Yes, I already emailed them about how they mispelled your name ;) ] That *is* pretty interesting! :)
