Shocking Internet Revelations

Golly gee, I am shocked, shocked to read a new report today on Reuters. They have discovered, apparently much to their horror, that a lot of employees just MAY be using the Internet for personal uses at work!

Wow. Who'd have thunk it?

Reuters - in a heavy-breathing report datelined Jerusalem for some inexplicable reason (maybe that's where the suddenly-Internet-aware reporter is based) sounds as if it is profoundly disturbed/appalled by this not particularly startling revelation. Indeed, it quotes (in remarkably vague terms) a number of studies that have found the same thing over the years. In the best journalistic tradition, it then goes out and finds an expert or two to comment on how this is really a continuation of an old problem of people wasting time at work - or, on the other hand, maybe it's a good thing.

Zzzzzzz. Oops, excuse me. I do find it a little strange, though, to find a story like this (without some kind of hard news peg) on a supposedly major wire service. Perhaps some kind soul could arrange a shipment of No-Doz or its equivalent to the Reuters Jerusalem office?
