The BBC (News's) tech section isn't aimed at you. Inaccuracies shouldn't be there but often they will dumb down or gloss over stuff for the mainstream audience they are aiming at.

You notice it cos you are in tech, but the same happens in financial news, science and even sport. Go read a tech publication.

For shits and giggle I did once try to get a technical story on how to copy DVD's published - it got very heavily edited! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/1987665.stm
