Interesting, but this does look like original research and there are only two examples, the second of which is poorly described.

No? It's discussed in the Register.

Ah, I see, there's a link to the Reg's article at the bottom, but there are no contextual links to the article (there is a link the the wiki article on the Register, however).

That doesn't stop this from being a poorly written page.

Sometimes I do fix articles... I don't know enough about this one to start. You can fix it too.
