Every time he says "makes" about IBM, read "commissions" or "sells", as in they are officially IBM branded. The same way that you'd say Lenovo sell ThinkPad keyboards even if they are made by Lite-on.

Not that this should necessarily be HN policy, but I think I'm probably not the only person who would prefer to read it from a marginally worse source than give page views to the Daily Mail.

Firstly, the line you quote said "all the" shares, the fact that 13% have been frozen doesn't prove or disprove that statement. Secondly, Dotcom's main claim was the hostile takeover, his family shares were just a part o
