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.

Sometimes they just have PAs.

First link is now broken and second one now works, so Novell execs wasn't ghostwriting.
They don't care about the users and issuing a few bytes with random characters costs them next to nothing. It gives them control over billions of human beings.
If even one media outlet told you in 2010 that Microsoft would fall from 100% (of Web requests) to about 1 in 8 Web requests, you'd probably struggle to believe it
