    I have a suspicion why this isn't bigger news.

    This report is not published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

    The authors describe their methods in sufficient detail to reproduce their experimental protocol; however without finding the same CPUs and monitors wiped by their lint rag, it is impossible to reproduce their results. If they bothered to determine where this compound originated, rather than just detect is presence, they would probably be able to publish the study, and it would become a worthy Slashdot post.

    As it stands, their report, regardless of its accuracy, smells like agenda-driven activist-science.
