There are a number of blogs like this popping up:

http://www.devilskitchen.me.uk/2009/...etxt-file.html

I've seen several example of this, all taking bits here and there and
commenting, but the context is tough to sort out from just the blogs.
Many of the blogs like this are skeptics or just opportunists who may
not be objective or, like this guy, admittedly not even tech-savvy
enough to know what's bad or what's not.

I'm hoping somebody is really taking some quality time on this stuff and
sorting through it. As it is the initial glimpses don't look good at all.
