PR in today's journalism

Hey guys, be good to Zac. Zac is a good guy and he is certainly not responsible for the 'PR polishing' that may took place. ;)

>Hey, Eugenia - could you get an interview with some one from QSSL?

We had a http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=91">QNX just 2 months ago. ;)
And that reminds me!!!
When Nicholas was preparing this QNX interview for OSNews, I did not know about it, so I sent my own set of questions to John Fehr, engineer at QSSL these days. But, guess who replied instead: The QSSL's PR. And they asked me to go through the PR in the future if I wanted an interview.
So, please be kind to Zac. In every big company, it is always the same. PR has the last word. As I already mentioned above, Apple and SGI are exactly the same too, if not worse (in fact Apple are very difficult to get a non-fuzzy reply, while SGI simply do not reply at all ;) -- at least the guy from Microsoft's PR was a real gentleman in his replies to me).
