Journal Omnifarious's Journal: Microsoft astroturfing Slashdot? 1
I'm wondering with the various anti-google stories showing up on Slashdot, if Microsoft and their anti-google lobby aren't trying to astroturf.
Every single one of these stories has had the quality of seemingly purposefully misinterpreting some move of Google's in a way that's not exactly accurate and much worse than it actually is.
For example, Google getting a design patent on its homepage is more akin to a trademark thing than anything else. It's not really a patent in the sense that people usually think of them.
And I can list a similar kind of twist in thinking in almost all the 'Google is doing this, aren't they evil now!?' stories on Slashdot. Something is fishy.

Malda's proved repeatedly that he will put out for the highest bidder.
I wonder if he doesn't do all of his job on his back.
