Matthew writes: Excerpts from Slashnot author Michael’s recent historic trip to Comdex in Las Vegas.
“I’m stepping out of my Jetta now. That’s one small step for me, one giant step for a cricket. Okay, I’m looking out over the landscape now. It’s barren, rocky. Not much to talk about. I’m entering the Las Vegas Convention Center. Okay, I’m now amongst some interesting formations that consist of some channel-like areas between what I’m going to describe as booths.”
“The whole place seems dead. It’s devoid of any sort of advanced technology, or anything particularly interesting. I’ve been taking samples of some of the booth formations, consisting of small yo-yo like objects and T-shirts. Hopefully, the samples will turn up something interesting.”
“My life-support Coke is running low now, so I’m going to head back and replenish before I run out.”

Great and funny article (samples yo-yos), but linking to this major Microsoft butt kisser is not the slashdot tradition.

Who said anything about a .? The site is clearly marked /!. The primary tradition here would appear to be making fun of /. stories, so linking to Microsoft-friendly sites is fair game.

Darn. That's our second Failure to Uphold the Slashdot Tradition this week. We'll have to change the name of the site to SlashNOT or something.
