Hi Thom,
Please explicitly attribute articles to their original publications.

Quoting and linking are not the same thing as attribution especially when the link does not appear in RSS feeds. What you're doing is obviously fair use, but its also lazy.
Here is how slashdot does it:
http://slashdot.org/search.pl?query=phoronix
"Phoronix did...", "Phoronix writes...", etc.
digg explicitly writes the source site's name immediately preceding the quoted text.
We are not going to write "Blah blah wrote" in every item. We have specifically chosen not to to keep OSNews a little more fun to read and to stay away from monotony. We are not Digg, and we are not Slashdot.
This is the internet. Attribution is in the link.
