Hmm, on second thought, it looks like you might not have to. I did some quick searches, and every place it's reported, it's just reprints of the original C|Net article. Cool.

This is quite common. The first journalist writes an article with whatever particular bias. The other lemmings^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hjournalists follow suit with the original. Obviously, for larger stories (e.g., major elections, wars, changes to the Coke formula) you tend to find a handful of journalists doing original research. For everything else, particularly in technology journalism, if you think you've got news to break, it's really important to pick the most competent journalist you can find and convince them to write your story.

Another effect going on here is you're seeing a reaction against the P.R. generated by SDMI. When an organization is spewing forth P.R. about how bananas are blue and all the finest bananas in the world are all blue, which of course makes the journalists suspicious but, well, they've never seen a banana before and blue sounds like a reasonable color, and suddenly along comes somebody saying "umm, you know, bananas are truly yellow, see here's one right now," the yellow bananas story is bigger news because it runs counter to the prevailing blue banana spin.

At any rate, we are in the process of writing a true and proper technical paper for submission to a conference describing our findings. I'll post something here when it's available.
