Subject: Wired - but not connected (more K-PC)

My attention was drawn to the following article published in Wired on the match
and tournament:

http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,43203,00.html

More of the same nonsense rehashed:

- "the top four challengers in the world", not mentioning why these are the top
four challengers.

- "so that left Deep Fritz, Deep Junior and a program called Shredder..."

Sigh. You'd think DF and DJ were the automatic heirs here (they are presented as
by-names) and Shredder was some obscure complete ousider (it needs to be
explained there is such a program). Pity, you'd hope that at least one
publication would get this right without all the lopsided bias heaped here.
