Hmmm - you're right - it's completely disappeared from the SMH site.

Google News still has it (the link below doesn't work either, but it comes up in a Google News search for "moletech"), so I didn't imagine the article. Not sure why they took it down though...

SMH probably realized, too late, that they'd been scammed.

Nice to see the media setting it right so quickly.  The next step is to help them get it right the first time (Steorn, anyone?).
