Information Week released what they deem the top ten stories dealing with open source for the year of 2008 earlier this month. Reminisce all of the happy memories we've had of open source throughout this past year: nestle with netbooks, gallop with Google, frolic with Fedora, cuddle with copyrights, and even get your hands on a juicy murder mystery.

What is that? Obviously I am not happy with the Reiser's wife murder; but this kind of red news has nothing to do with OSS or technology...
How quickly starts the collective back-away from the "Reiser4 is the neatest thing since sliced bread" mindset. Reiser4 is dead. That very much does have to do with OSS and technology, and is a direct result of Hans' premeditated murder of his wife (with the kids upstairs), his painting programmers as social misfits to suit his own needs, and then his being exposed as a murderer and a liar who slandered the rest of us to try to save his own skin.
Number 8 is not out of place.

8. Linux Developer Hans Reiser Convicted Of First-Degree Murder.
What is that? Obviously I am not happy with the Reiser's wife murder; but this kind of red news has nothing to do with OSS or technology... there is a lot of more important stuff than such murder but seems than the buzz and cheap news are more important than technology (talkin' about informationweek).
