Several years ago I worked at IBM on a product called SashXB. It was written about twice in Wired, first here, and then here. The second article featured some pretty mangled quotes by me (which make me sound like an arrogant retard, and for which I got crap from my co-workers for quite a while thereafter ;), but more importantly a totally bogus quote from “Jerome Denman, a systems administrator for a Wall Street investment firm.” We figured that the dude was made up, and just chalked it up to the poor standards in journalism today.
Today, this story came out on Slashdot, about how Wired is retracting or correcting hundreds of stories written by one Michelle Delio, since she may have fabricated quotes. Curious, I looked back on those old Sash stories, and who wrote them? Yep, Michelle Delio.
