Y'know, it's getting harder and harder to tell satire from real news
reports these days. Which was that? Of course, it's funny in either
case, but it'd be nice to know whether we're laughing at a joke or a
real new "product".
(There was a nice illustration of the difficulty of writing satire a
couple of months ago, when segfault.org had a fake announcement of a
new product from Microsoft that would let users customize the Blue
Screen of Death. One of the replies just explained how to do it. So
much for satire.)
