"which Ars translated from Italian into English using Google Translate"
Surely Ars Technica can spare $10 to have someone (on Amazon turk or fiverr or whatever) who actually speaks Italian and English to translate?

> I saw this complaint in the comments Ars' as well, but I have a problem with using Google Translate. If there was any confusion or if the situation was very complicated, then sure, get a real translator. But for a relatively simple Google Translate handles quite clearly, why bother?
Note the "I don't have a problem" -> "I have a problem". You cannot rely on Google Translate and as a journalist, you should not be so stupid to do so.
Besides an italian translator could misread the statement and do the translation based on what he read, rather than what was written.
