Worthless Media: wired lied too

Wired has a confessional: "Wired News Writer Faked Info". Even a hit magazine/news site cannot avoid getting writers who fake their articles. In the world of pure ether, fake emails and fake stories are so easy to contribe, as evidenced by all those blogs out there [I'm not exempt, either, of course].

What can be done to prevent fakes? I really don't know.

One thing nice about software business (esp. open source ones), there is nothing fake: either you have real code or not. And the code works or not. Very easy to verify....
