it is to weep

From a story on CNN (it's a Reuter's feed, so they're to blame):

(emphasis mine)

"By moving into e-mail -- the Web's most-used program -- Google would open up a huge new market for its lucrative "sponsored links" advertising business that delivers ads tied to keywords in Web searches or on content pages, analysts said."

For god's sake. All tech reporters should be marched out, stood in a line, and force fed paper copies of the non-http tcp/ip based RFCs until they piss laserjet ink.

There is more to the Net than the web, you damned wankers.

(no subject)

Fine, fine, I'll back off on the tech reporters, if only you'll make the wrongness stop here:
