This is your daily IT Lawsuit News Feeder. Groklaw reports that IBM has subpoenad Microsoft in its enduring legal battle with SCO. IBM is demanding Microsoft delivers all communications between Microsoft and SCO, since June 28th 2002, including conversations Darl McBride may have had with Steve Ballmer. But no worries, that ain't all! IBM, Red Hat, Sun, and Real have filed a complaint with the European Commission because Microsoft unfairly scotches competition. That was your daily IT Lawsuit News Feeder, end transmission.

I take that as a direct insult to me and the rest of the staff
As it was intended, for you personally. I don't know about the rest of your staff, but its mostly your articles that I notice this sort of subtle rhetorical bias. Not that that is a bad thing, its an excellent PR tactic that you should employ, if you have bias. A very powerful weapon in this war on words.

Ah, you refuse to address my arguments.
Oh, and I'll add "pro-Sun" to my list of biases. And I'm not wondered anymore that "anti-Sun" is on that list too.

Hey, dude, I'm as enthusiastic as the next guy when it comes to Linux, but you're not helping with that attitude.
I'll go further: this is exactly how an agent provocateur would act. If you really like Linux, then stop hurting it by making us look like rabid fanatics.
My personal opinion? You're an anti-Linux poster who poses as an aggressive Linux zealot to make us look bad...I have no way of proving this, but it's certainly what this looks like.

That is incorrect."
No it is not.
"Groklaw reports: IBM has subpoenaed Microsoft! And Sun!
I'm curious, is Osnews biased? What communications have you had with Sun and why does your "news" seem to filter out anything bad about them? Sometimes it feels kinda like how Fox News reports on Republicans."
No, OSNews is not biased. We only have a limited amount of space available in teasers, and as such we have to make a selection of what gets in the teaser and what doesn't. If someone judges a newsitem without reading the article... Then there's nothing I can do for you.
And I suggest you not compare us to FoxNews again. I take that as a direct insult to me and the rest of the staff, and those insults will not go unnoticed. You have made an account just for attacking us-- we're not really open to that sort of nonsense.
Before spouting stupid accusations, please think for a second. We cannot write 45-line teasers just to please every zealot on the planet.
