The Source has just found this little blooper which suggests that Novell has ghostwriters. We captured more evidence of this before, about 2 years ago. Some of the executives of Novell either do not write their posts or do not write them alone (or use the assistance of technical people to run their blogs, by proxy so to speak). Bill Gates' latest PR charades on the Web are pretty much the same. It's all marketing and part of the branding of "Bill Gates", whose crimes the PR effort is trying to erase with the help of irresponsible reporters. ⬆

Ghostwriting is indeed controversial and AFRIK far from a new topic. If you do a Google search on "ghostwritten blogs", you can find a lot of articles about it.

First link is now broken and second one now works, so Novell execs wasn't ghostwriting.
Because digital connections in third parties aren't assets; they endow another party with tremendous power over people (e.g. MElon getting to decide who can and cannot reach people or what messages to "dim down")
Narrowing down to desktops and laptops, and judging by Web requests that go through Clownflare, many people there use GNU/Linux or Google's 'bastardised' version of it (with spyware preloaded)
Summary: New evidence of ghostwriters in Novell's own Web site
