Two nitpicks that disturbed me:<p>- Hans Reiser is said to have developed a "computer filing system", not a "file system".<p>- The rootkit installed by Sony is called "copy-protection software". It was the other way around, the copy-protection software <i>also</i> included a rootkit, which is something different.<p>I'm sure there are more, this article was quite doubt-inspiring on the quality/editing side of things.
