For those who have gone off half-cocked without reading the full article here, or Eugene's post, here, again, is the link to said post:

Read it. The English in it isn't that hard. Eugene (or whoever writes those posts for him nowadays) is a pretty good writer.
As anyone who reads it can see, he's being bitingly sarcastic, for good reasons.
Man, Reuters seems to have become even more of a shill for whoever pays their bills than ever. The report they did does look like a hit piece, and not merely another example of mass media incompetence when it comes to covering technology.But I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt if they openly publish a self-humiliating retraction after the usual face-saving (at least for the editorial board) "internal investigation".
