Dumb bastards...

QuoteThe Internet sees everything. It used to be you were safe to strike out at your enemies via Wikipedia edits, but with the advent of WikiScanner, those days are over. Which is why were discussing a small edit made to the Wikipedia page of Halo 3. The contributor claims that Halo 3s graphics wont look much better than Halo 2, citing a Time story from March. Page 52, if youd like to look it up.

Okay, so we take a look at what other edits this contributor has made... we get God of War 2 information, a few things about Liverpool, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Hideo Kojima, Chewbacca—nothing out of the ordinary for a gaming geek or general science fiction fan. A million people just like this make a million edits daily, so why are we discussing this?  

For some crazy reason MaxConsole ran the IP itself and isolated the IP range to a particular place: SCEEs Liverpool offices. Someone at Sony isnt too happy with the state of Halo 3s graphics, and they want to talk about it. I dont think Im going to get all up in arms; as edits go, this was slight and had a credible source, but if I were working for any of the big three Id be telling my employees to stay away from Wikipedia. It just doesnt look good when stuff like this comes out.  

The Internet, of course, doesnt miss a trick. "

Doesnt mean much, as the article says it could easily just be a gamer geek who is bored and not impressed with Halo 3 (Like me) who just happens to work for Sony.

I think the point is more aimed at the fact that companies and organisations such as CIA, Sony etc.. are going to have to start banning its use from work. Yes your right it doesnt mean anything - but its very embarrassing for them.
