    Who said headlines had to be truthful? Besides, I can't count the number of times /. headlines made it sound like something has already been done when the summary admits it's "being developed", "in the planning phase", "talked about".

    They do it for the clicks, man.

    Review the Temporal Guide to Slashdot Headline Reading:

    1. Present tense means wait a few years.
    2. Future tense means it'll never happen.
    3. Past tense means SlashBack.
