As always, great fool's day joke. What Rande missed is that he was fooled too and failed to recognize the clues which immediately identified it as nothing more than an April Fool's prank. Those wanting to be Cybersleuths need to resist shooting from the hip.

Once again, congratulations!

I said yesterday that the WebNode contract was "BOGUS." Today it is confirmed by the Department of Energy Office of Science. Don't be surprised if an "article" or two come out this weekend declaring WebNode's deal a scam.

I can tolerate much. . .but not being FOOLED in my own HOME. . .I wonder how the Office of Energy heard about them. . and why Wired wrote about them yesterday. . .
HMMmmmm. . .
