		Someone on Nov 12, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Microsoft takes .NET open source and cross-platfor... Great news, but something else drew my attention: the related stories. I got, among others: "Microsoft Announces Windows 2000 Certification For Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers" "Microsoft and Samsung Reveal Windows Powered Pocket PC For GSM/GPRS Networks" "Microsoft Office 97 Family of Applications Honored With Industry Awards" "Microsoft Invests in General Magic" "Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 Beta Download Demand Overwhelming" Ignoring the time machine aspects, I wonder what made their algorithm come up with these stories. They mention "Microsoft" and "Net", but that is about it.

"Microsoft and Samsung Reveal Windows Powered Pocket PC For GSM/GPRS Networks"

.. in 2003, four years before the iPhone launch. I wonder how that one got messed up? Carrier brokenware? Inadequate hardware?
