  1. What's up with /. editors by jsse · · Score: 1, Troll

    I post the news last time as soon as LinuxDevices has news on this and got rejected.

    Now zdnet featuring this old news and got spotlighted? What's up with you editors?

    So it isn't a worthy news until your Greatest ZDNet featuring it?

    Mod me down if you like, you ZDNet dude.
