The Oz today offered "The Hub ... designed from the ground up ... 
acting as a filter for the daily deluge of industry news":
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/australian-it/the-hub

The 'Global Technology Radar' turns out not to be what you'd expect, 
but instead a matrix of IT suppliers against the products they sell.

The sponsor is also the first-named supplier.  And the most-reported. 
And the only company granted its own section down the bottom of the 
page.

If this is the quality journalism that Rupert wants to charge us for, 
I can't see anyone paying any money for it, apart from the sponsor of 
course.
