A CASE OF CREDIT
This was pretty interesting. Was reading an article from a friend (and former roommate) who works for CNet. It's regarding Windows new OS: Vista. So the interesting thing is that this article appears (maybe) several times on the Ziff Davis managed sites, but of the two instances I found there was an inconsistency.
On the CNet News website we have the following article:
http://news.com.com/An+inside+look+at+Windows+Vista/2100-1043_3-6051736.html
As you can see, there are two authors credited.
Now on the same exact article, which comes from ZDNet India:
http://www.zdnetindia.com/insight/software/stories/135643.html
Notice that only a single contributer is mentioned.
I just thought this was kind of funny. Is there a possibility that the article gains more respect and trust if the author's ancestry and name are more common in the reader's country? That's what I am assuming happened here. Or else maybe the articles aren't exactly the same, but I found this interesting nonetheless. BTW, Sarj writes great hardware reviews too.
