We are still around. Or at least I am. I do my best to keep Webmonkey up to date and sometimes that means running Ars Technica stories, like this one (Wired and Ars are owned by the same parent company and frequently cross-post in both directions). So, while I appreciate that Webmonkey made it to HN, probably the link should point to the original article on Ars: http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2012/01/google-takes-on...
