So, in your words, Wired covered a developing story that so far has only appeared in forums and low-end blogs. They pieced together a story from various sources, despite your claim, and presented what is out there right now.

I think they did their job.

You can't expect every time a news story is written that it will provide new information, especially when you are already quite aware of the content of the story before you even read it.

I, for one, have never heard of this story. I found the article interesting.
