The fact that the Times ran a piece on it really has no bearing on the sprawl of the news or event itself. The assertion is that they are one and the same, that of which they are not. Regardless of how much play or the "spin" it's still another piece that is well written and justifies his hard work in uncovering the injustices that the NSA uses to it's advantage both with tax dollars and seemingly boundless ethical quandaries. The point is Steve Jobs took over the entire page of HN - and yes, he was instrumental in changing and entire industry. However someone instrumental in defending the public from it's government fields comments equivalent to "See, the Times ran a piece so there". RIP Otis Pike and thanks.
