Internet "news" and those cable cuts.
I've followed with interest the cable cuts in the Med and Middle East that have
seen rumour layered upon rumour and every armchair commentator lathered in to a
frenzy with conspiracy theories.
There has been excellent coverage at the
Renesys blog (Parts 1,
2,
3,
quash
Iran rumours, 4,
summary)
and Data Centre Knowledge has
been linking to lots of sane
coverage.
It's always struck me as rather odd that just because the Internet enables
everyone to have a say that everyone feels they should exercise that capability
at every opportunity on topics that they know very little.
People do strange things on the Internet. Film at 11.
