Blogging periodically at
http://illusionofvolition.comThe reporter is quite a good technology reporter, in my view; and I see the Globe as a pretty high quality newspaper. I suspect that the article was carefully reviewed by the Globe's legal people to cast doubt on Ayyadurai's claims without making it possible for him to sue them for saying his claims are wrong.

The most objectionable in this paper is the term "skeptics" ("The skeptics say that by the 1970s, e-mail as we know it today was routinely used"). We are not "skeptic", we know that S.A.'s claims are wrong.
Yours truly,
