Yeah, we have been discussing it in cplusplus.com too (http://cplusplus.com/forum/lounge/72211/)

Eh? He or she deserves a raise. There's nothing untruthful about the statement, and obviously it's getting nerds to read and discuss the article. The goal of a non-public news organization is to make money and/or promote agendas.

It's technically correct, but there's more to journalist ethics than that. It suggests that the fact that both Angry Birds and Flame were written in Lua somehow connects the two, abusing the general public's lack of technical knowledge. The argument is about as meaningful as "the victim was stabbed with a knife made of steel, the same material used in popular toys", only that practically everybody knows what steel is.

And, even more subtly, it mentions that Lua stems from a game programming background; even though no clear accusations are made, it cleverly connects video games with computer malware, terrorism, and real-world warfare.

No, there is nothing in there that is provably wrong, but you can't tell me someone who writes for a news corporation as heavily funded as Fox doesn't know exactly what they're doing. She's acting in the company's best commercial interest, sure, but it's still wrong and unethical and deserves punishment.

Also, it's quite hilarious. Best reading I've had from Fox in a while.

I'm sorry but I think you're mistaking Fox news for journalism. MOST news channels and shows have stopped actually doing proper journalism. It's all sensationalist garbage.

I was just reading about this at Wired (lame, I know) where a guy that works at an AV company tries to explain some of this.

For fun do a Google search on "angry birds flame."

Go Corporate America!

The hell. Just today I saw on Fox news a report on the Hubble findings on the date when the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxys will collide and the reporter stated several times that it would be the end of the Universe. Galaxies are not Universes just made him seem more and more of an idiot the more he talked.

This is also assuming we haven't made Fallout into reality by this time (or that a plague/outbreak of some kind hasn't killed us).

Media can't even be honest let alone neutral whether there is monetary interest or not. I mean, they painted Bin Laden as a terrorist for years but they never were honest about the fact that we made him. We helped his militia rebels overthrow the ruler at that time and then left him to clean up the mess we helped make. This angered him and is what started the whole Jihad campaign on the US (which is why they are taking so long in the Middle East now because they are scared of making a new Bin Laden). Media's and news sole purpose now is to make everyone forget how bad we are getting f*cked by the government that does everything "for the people". They just forget to mention "for the people" refers to the millionaires and companies. This country was bought and paid for a long time ago by big business and the crap of you have a say in how the country is run is just an illusion. The companies and politicians just love blowing smoke up our @sses.

We would be dead if the people ever went up against the government. They have the military and sadly most the guys in the military follow orders blindly, when they haven't become obsessed with the power their position gives them (look at the police that hurt protesters, and military have more power than them). Then you figure in US allies, they have the power to become the modern day Hitler and oppress us through power if they wanted.

No 'human government' was back when George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln ran the country. Now it is a corporate government that puts on the falsehood of still being a 'human government'.
