There's a pretty good breakdown of what happened. Lucky catch, yes, but not really bizarre. I'm grumpy today...

Overhyped

On: Trojan Goes After Bitcoins

I saw a comment in a previous article about Bitcoin suggesting that /. was acting as a shill for this 'product'. How is they hyperbole justified when the only place it's talked about is here? Shenanigans.

On: Google To Fund Ideas That Will Change the World

That's a hell of a lot of extra work to globally disseminate your idea to the world.

You wouldn't let Google have the hassle of doing the footwork if they flipped you a few mil? I think maybe you lack some of the foresight/vision/humanitarianism that the contest seeks to capitalize on.

Hasn't Yet

On: When Did Star Wars Jump the Shark?

Admittedly Ep I and II were thin but this was redeemed in III. It's still a really good story arc and with the several hundred hours of new story to come in the 2 TV series (not to mention the original animated Clone Wars) I should hopefully hold water for a long time to come. Especially if GL is not in the Directors chair.
