“We don’t need no education”

Novell and Microsoft are a good pair. They both like to exercise their ability to gag, pressure or influence reporters’ writings. This was seen before. More recently we even caught what was probably a Microsoft employee (he didn’t deny this) trying to get Matt Asay sacked for writing critically about Microsoft.

About a year ago, Novell was seen bending the arm of Dana Blankenhorn after he had criticised them. It’s something that may be widespread. Now it’s Microsoft doing the same thing to him. Watch this new comment from Sam Ramji.

And in other news, the Writer’s Guild of America filed a complaint against Dana Blankenhorn for writing and publishing comedy without a license.
Dana, you crack me up. Keep working on the lighter side. It keeps me young.
