Buried as lame and inaccurate. No idea who Guardiantech is? Do a bit of research, it's not hard to find out it's a twitter feed run by the technical writers at the Guardian newspaper. The Guardian website ranks alongside the BBC as one of the most popular online news sources in the UK, so it's not surprising their twitters get a large number of followers. This is nothing but lazy journalism designed to generate hits on a blog.
