Last Wednesday we noted Matt Slagle's review of Halo for the PC platform, which contained a number of not-so-nice things about the game we all know and love, as well as some minor inaccuracies that cast doubt on the amount of due diligence applied by Mr. Slagle in writing the review. Shishka emailed him, as well as many others, and received a reply that the article would be corrected. Nearly a week later, the old article is still up and has been picked up by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in Microsoft's own background, as well as the San Fransisco Chronicle and many others.

This means one of two things: That Yahoo News doesn't pick up on folos and correx items sent over the AP Wire, or the correction was never made. For those who've never seen an Associated Press wire feed in its raw form, stories are often sent in chunks as they become available, and within the space of minutes or hours several different versions of a story will move over the wire, with additional material, corrected material, etc. Committing a change like correcting the error "Master Sergeant" with the correct term "Master Chief" takes only seconds to do, and only a little longer to reach AP subscribers; the fact that it doesn't show up in Yahoo News nearly a week later means that either they ignore those new versions, or there is no new version.
