The BBC Has Drunk its Brain
Good to see the BBC with its finger on the pulse of computing, bravely serving up the facts without fear or favour here:Microsoft's next operating system (OS) will come with multi-touch features as an alternative to the mouse.
Rather like the Hewlett-Packard touchscreen system I used back in the 1980s.

The difference here is the word "multi" which is the new technology Microsoft is 'pioneering'. Yes, touchscreens have existed...but multi-touch screens have not.
Well, OK, but it hardly seems to justify making it one of the lead stories on the BBC site....
Is this a similar statement to 2003's "Bill Gates said that Longhorn will have a unified storage system called WinFS." found at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3220017.stm
Nice one.
Just a little while ago I thought, “Wow, Glyn Moody always comes up with great headlines to his articles”.
But this one really tops it, it gave me a huge laugh :)

Thanks, but be careful: you'll only encourage me to be more outrageous....
And full disclosure: I nicked it from the Italian phrase "si è bevuto il cervello."
