Since cancelling my free subscription Information Week can no longer afford to fact check... oh wait, <a href="http://blog.web20studios.com/2009/5/Information-Week-needs-to-fact-check-instead-of-cashing-their-Intel-checks">they never did that before either</a>. Their latest flub that jumped off<span> <a href="http://www.informationweek.com/cloud-computing/article/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=229205500">the page</a></span> at me "...Java's JSON-based..." wait, what? Java's JSON? Pretty sure that's not the case and a 2 second Google confirms, "JSON&nbsp;(JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format..."&nbsp;wow,&nbsp;<a href="http://json.org">that was hard</a>.&nbsp;Of course it's not the&nbsp;<span><a href="http://blog.web20studios.com/2009/5/Information-Week-needs-to-fact-check-instead-of-cashing-their-Intel-checks">first time</a></span>, and I'm sure it won't be the last.<div><br /><div><div>I've ignored the renewal emails, for months, but the quality of reporting is so low, it doesn't really shock me that they can't manage to end my subscription either. I guess correctness doesn't matter nearly as much as number of eyes on the page when you're pitching to management types.</div><br /><div>And just to get out ahead of Information Week's next mis-statement, "The final choice of name caused confusion, giving the impression that the language was a spin-off of the Java programming language." So, no, Information Week <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript">JavaScript has nothing to do with Java</a>. Let me know when I can expect my Researcher check in the mail.</div></div></div>
