You will also come to know that MySQL has become MySequel ...

Hi,
You will also come to know that MySQL has become MySequel ...
"MySequel" is just an extension to "SeQueL" read "SQL". That is simply the way of speaking among quite a number of people. I was left wondering when I heard it the first time a few years ago.
Anyways, when a Non-Techie quotes the speaker, the way of speaking actually becomes the word.
Regards,
Cyril Chacko.

To the best of my knowledge MySQL is the name of a product.

What I meant was I have heard the "SQL " spoken as "Sequel". So, "MySql" spoken as "MySequel". The ET - reporter due to lack of knowledge printed it as it was probably spoken by the speaker.
My comment was that the reporter was being too true to his dictaphone without doing any background checks

Lazy journalism. In the age of the internet, fact checks are just a click away.

I think the joke was lost on your audience. I will still try to revive it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFC_1149
There are so many goof ups in Indian newspapers these days, I think all editors do is smoothen out their political affiliations and all that proof readers do is check the red squiggly in Microsoft Word (R).
These journos are some of the most clueless people in the world, and usually they write motivated briefs. The Microsoft foundation is financially a much more potent force than the GNU variety. Even the more informed correspondents somehow start toeing the unethical line. Read the Patently Absurd byline in yesterday's Business Standard about IIT Bombay selling itself to Nathan Myhrvold, and you will know.

Background check *is* essential in any reporting. A journo who puts his/her article on the 'Net cannot duck under the above excuse.

At least it portrays open source in a good light (70% cost reductions). These type of stories are much better than glorifying people like Fadia. The other day I saw "India's youngest ethical hacker" who was 11 yrs old in mid-day.
