zdnet.com.com is not infact ZDnet, but a
very clever site pretending to be
ZDnet. The purpose of the site is seems to be to propagate memes the
authors agree with.
Click on Page One, you go to

(
http://zdnet.net.net redirects to

"Open-source flaw threatens MS code" and other items that wouldn't normaly
show up on an corporate-ass-licking site like ZDnet.
