It's fairly obvious what's going on here... AI has taken a hot-button issue (censorship in China), and is seeking attention by pointing the finger at big companies. Try building any kind of network or system without using something from Microsoft/Cisco/Sun. DUH!
This is the same tactic little dot-coms were using during the bubble. They'd issue a press release that could say something like "our product is unrelated to Microsoft or Cisco", and the automated finance news sites would link to it as news involving Microsoft/Cisco (dumb keyword matching), giving the company a bunch of cheap attention.
Does anyone stream MPEG2? Sure. Ever watch DirecTV? Slightly different application (one way satellite broadcast), but otherwise similar. You did ask.:-)
Uhm, no. The primary Hubble mirror did not deform because it stayed on the ground too long. The mirror was manufactured that way. When Perkin-Elmer made the error, part of their process went wonky and noone noticed. It was just made perfectly wrong, so to speak.

Move along, no scandals to see here...
