We reported on the lack of Atom support in development builds of Mac OS X 10.6.2, but a more recent build re-enables support for Intel's Atom line, popular in netbooks. "In the latest development build Atom appears to have resurrected itself zombie style in 10C535. The Atom lives another day, but nothing is concrete until the final version of 10.6.2 is out."

Ah, so this is not about the article at all. I figured as much.
This is just what OSNews is these days. Things change. We used to be a glorified RSS feed. Those days are long over. We announced so clearly in January. We are no longer what we were.
You like it, or you don't. We can't be everything to everyone.

I've one about the article. this is not about OSNews directly, but nearly every media. SO don't take it personally.
Peon A finds a sensationalistic news (YES. I wrote sensationalistic!) and figure out his own media/site/whatever didn't report it.
Peon A quickly make up an article about it without any second though.
Appears that a horde of Peon A's actually copied an article stating that:
In an INTERNAL DEVELOPER RELEASE support for a functionality is bugged and wrongly state (while it's his own judgement at best) support will be removed from future versions.
Of course, the bug been fixed and the report irrelevant.
That's not your fault. That's humanity, medias, whatever. Point is, it is still a sensationalistic news item, with worthless info inside. It gives ad clicks I suppose.
yes, my words sound harsh, but some days i'd like people to wake up and use their own "fking" common sense instead of following the crowd.

Thom - pretty much all of your articles read like blog posts to your personal blog these days. I also note, you haven't posted to your blog in months (or at least that was true when I looked a couple of days ago..)
People claim "sensationalism" because when ever you report anything recently, it reads like your own opinion, not objective reporting. That is all.
As an example : I had the perception that you had a complete and utter anti-iPhone stance, but you recently did a 180 on! A month ago you were obsessing about the Pre and pretty much sounded like the iPhone was the devil's own device.
Anyway, I think the phrase that best describes my own personal feelings about OS News recently is - "quality, not quantity". I'd rather have little or no news, but well reported and balanced reporting rather than hundreds of articles that read like personal vendettas* and opinion pieces**.
Things used to be a lot better. I'm sure you can return to that if you stop making OS News feel like your personal blog. I'm sure you'll feel I'm being unreasonable and attack me for having an opinion that differs from your own on this subject, I await the rebuttal ;-P But, I *am* a long term reader though - I started reading OS News when Eugenia moved here from BeNews. I'm not just saying this to be annoying or get you mad - it's the truth from where I'm sitting. Weigh that up and do whatever you see fit with it. Only *you* can make the necessary changes.
* Of course, it is not necessarily always true - even when claimed. That is just my perception of your general writing recently.
** ditto.
