- Skeuomorph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10The post by the hack[ahem]unauthorized user reads as though written not by an illiterate teen but by a non-native English speaker.

The phrases "on last days" and "finally consider" are particularly common mistakes made by Russians writing in English. - miaow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7is it a coincidence this is the link opposite the story ?

- totorototoro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5So on the positive side, Google isn't discontinuing the service. On a less positive note, they got hacked?
- mercurysquad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Whatever is written in the article summary is all that's there in TFA. What's up with that?!!
- cianuro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6About time they made a statement about it though :)
- chulium, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4In other words, their new Blogger Beta has security issues.

- treyjp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hah. Remember that time I could have made a fake post? I figured they would have learned their lesson by now.

- varvil, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Sweet! I knew this had to be false. It didn't really sound like something Google would do.
