IMO, the deletion and the author's half-hearted (or half-***) explanation for his poor ability to research isn't going to "get it."
CNET needs to print a complete correction. Had the article been written two years ago, it might have been considered more accurate, but with the events of the last few months, there is no excuse for the negative spin on PTSC.
A good writer NEVER fails to back his/her articles with documentation. Tobak's excuse is a day late and a dollar short!
