In perhaps the best technology faux pas this year, salon has this work of art (emphasis mine):
The Hans Reiser trial was big news in the San Francisco Bay Area and high-tech community, with both Wired and the San Francisco Chronicle live-blogging the proceedings and the Oakland Tribune assigning a reporter to it full-time. “48 Hours” and “20/20″ both did TV specials. Hans was considered a genius, a minor celebrity in the high-tech community. His filing system was considered by some to be a milestone in computer science. His wife, Nina Reiser, was a gorgeous Russian bride studying to be a doctor in America. Hans and Nina had two children together and a fantastically contentious divorce.

Is he still not a genius then? I think maybe he was a little sensitive to his “gold-digging wife” telling him to stop “playing” on his computer. From my experience, it sounds like he was getting too much abuse and did something out of character. Hopefully now that he’s reduced his possible sentence by 10 years he’ll do 3 on good behaviour and continue un-pecked.
