A source informs me that New Scientist has taken down its original article about ChatNannies and replaced it with this:
Serious doubts have been brought to our attention about this story. Consequently, we have removed it while we investigate its veracity.I think it would have been better to simply put the warning above the existing article, rather than remove the article entirely, but this is still a good step.Jeremy Webb, Editor

Wow! you get results! Fantastic!
Hope remains for science when things like this scam get pulled. At hope remains that academics will exist who are filled with integrity. Michael, I have *no* idea how you stand to be in grad school. I couldn't do it. I was so overwhelmed by the mediocrity and the frivolousness, not to mention the leftism--and I was in a well respected UC CS department.
Congrats on your victory!
