This is from my print column, and it's didn't even make it onto the paper's Web site (which I will correct ...). I can't even figure out how they got it, let alone whether or not they're supposed to have it in the first place.

I found it on our Web site. It's just not where it's supposed to be. The L.A. Daily News might have some kind of agreement with Linux Insider's owner, E-Commerce Times ... or not. ECT is a local company (they either used to be or still are just down the street). I'll have to look into it.

I did post the story to our Technology page (http://dailynews.com/technology), which consists of whatever the San Jose Mercury News has, plus my print columns.

Scott, it's not a problem to post to the other link. It's just curious, that's all.
