Flash drive meltdown fingered in Swedish IT blackout

Tieto can't even spell right.

The title of the chart: "Verklig Prestanda Jämnförelse" is not even correct swedish. It should be spelled "Verklig Prestandajämförelse". Just to give people an inkling of the competence level of this company when they can't even formulate correct sentences with real words...

Their technical skills are evidently a good match for their spelling abilities.

Trading in The Pirate Bay bidder stopped over deal funding

Inaccuracies?

Some inaccuracies are perhaps worth commenting on in this article:

The content was uploaded uploaded on the Pirate Bay on 2009-AUG-15 and the suspension of trading on 2009-AUG-21. The uploading is clearly unrelated to the suspension of trading on AktieTorget. Furthermore, Aktietorget is not an authorised stock exchange. AktieTorget is an Over-the-Counter (OTC) marketplace, specialising in smaller and/or more risky financial instruments.

Since about 60% of the stock is owned by mr Pandeya and his family the suspension of trading is likely to have little impact on the company itself. It has been speculated that the whole Pirate Bay spectacle has been a scheme by mr Pandeya to hike up the price of the stock and make a fast buck in hard economic times. Since the company is already under suspicion of insider trading this doesn't seem so far-fetched.
