Bear in mind that VAR Guy (he's hanging around in Digg and uses
sensationalist headlines) is not a technical guy, but more of an analyst. He
has some connections in the industry, but don't count on his assessment of

Now that he sends copies from his site/blog to Seeking Alpha he gets on the
financial feeds, but it doesn't add credibility to the arguments.
