Thursday, July 11, 2002Jake Savin points to News.com's "New security flaw in Outlook, IE" - yet another article at a big news site that does not link to site of the company which is the source of the information they are reporting on. In this case, the company is PivX Solutions - they have a site, as well as a press release pertaining to the security flaws mentioned in the News.com article, but News.com chooses not to provide the reader with that additional related information. So - why don't they link to their source? Is this not the web?
They link to three other News.com articles in this one, though. Seems to me they simply do not want the reader to leave, even at the expense of presenting a less-than-complete picture of the news item...

"They announced to the world that they will allow two more board members but then they announce that the board members they are going to add can only have term limits of two years. IBM and Microsoft won't have term limits, so quite frankly, I don't think we are interested in those kind of games," said Bobowicz. (John Bobowicz, chief technical strategist at Sun Microsystems's Sun One project)Games? What games? Those aren't games - they're hardball business tactics that really stink!
