The article you mention states that they collected "hair and faecal samples."
Well, if that's the case, it should be quite easy to determine if the animal isn't extinct by seeing if the DNA contained in the sample they are attempting to clone matches the DNA they can find in these samples collected in the wild.
To put out various conspiracy theories, we can always assume that the DOJ and M$ have gotten together to allow a "hand-slap" judgement/settlement in return for expressly putting such a back door into XP and it's ilk. Something along the lines of the "NSA Key" that made the rumor rounds a year or two ago.
OS/2 was one of MS's biggest competitors back in the early-mid 90's. Yes, there actually were competing commercial operating systems to MS offerings once!
IBM dumped a ton of money into convincing users that OS/2 was good for the home, and better than the Windows 3.11 (and later Win95) alternative. They eventually gave up a short while after Windows 95 was released. Apparently people who said OS/2 sucks for having a 20MB disk install and a 16MB memory requirement were more than happy to supply the bucks to update their hardware for Win95.
Too many people apparently forgot the big OS/2 vs. Win 95/Windows NT battle and all the dirty tricks and FUD that was spread. One classic example was a Ziff-Davis publication's "10 best-selling software products list" being put on hiatus when OS/2 Warp 3.0 landed in the #1 position for several weeks, beating out MS's offerings, only to return after OS/2 dropped off the chart.
OS/2 is a casualty of MS's monopolistic practices, and should be at least championed as a fallen hero in the MS monopoly battles rather than beat upon because it is an IBM (and ex-MS) product.

Funny how that ADV:ADLT works.

I'm sure once one or two of those instructors had to shell out dough to replace those computers, a newfound respect for these things will occur.
iBooks are pretty darn tough in the way they are built, and remarkably cheap for an Apple offering. I can't think of a better choice.

There, now where can I pick up my Nobel prize?
Slashdot munged my last post!

For shame!
