Sun Pondering Buying Novell

Krafty Koder writes "ZDNet are reporting that Sun are considering purchasing Novell and thus gain SUSE Linux. 'With our balance sheet, we're considering all our options,' Sun chief operating officer Jonathan Schwartz said in an interview on Sunday regarding the possibility of acquiring Novell. 'What would owning the operating system on which IBM is dependent be worth? History would suggest we look to Microsoft for comparisons,' he said."

    "ZDNet are" and "Sun are"??? ZDNet and Sun are singular nouns. It should read as "ZDNet is" and "Sun is". Sheesh. The headline of the linked article is "Sun wants to buy Novell" which correctly uses "Sun" as a singular noun. (Think "he wants" vs "they want"). Saying "ZDNet are" or "Sun are" is like saying "he are". That's just inane. Anyway, can we get some proofreaders on the staff?
