Thanks billdah and rob. I checked the link again and it seems to be working now. Also, the reference to ITWire seems to be valid, too. So in other words, the original story indeed came from itwire. It can be found here:

I stand corrected. The story may not be that smelly after all!!
Sorry to thyshift for suspecting a rat. (Well, it wasn't really addressed to thyshift but rather to the strange link provided).
To sum it up, the story is valid and can be read on itwire. Stuart Corner is the same guy who posted a few articles about the takeover recently on itwire.
Have a great weekend!
