An article has just been withdrawn whose headline was: "Rumor: Novell To Lay Off 1100?". It was a valid page at some stage, but it has expired since it reached my feed reader (I was asleep at the time).

Bear in mind that we knew about the previous wave of layoffs a few weeks before the media reported it. We found a leak from an anonymous source.
