If you follow the "back" links, the first page in the
article mentions the figures came from a survey. I'd
like to know how many respondents there were, and
their locations. I'd also like to see a breakdown of #
of answers per writer type - I get the feeling the
information that went into this comes largely from
writers in journalism and business, rather than
technology-related fields.
