gBox

Turns out that Google doesn't own gBox -- must have been some overzealous author drawing the connection. gBox is a separate company that's going to advertise with Google ads, but they're not affiliated with Google at all. See http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/122284/gbox-not-google-has-drmfree-universal-deal.html . I updated a few pages where you had added gBox. Just wanted to give you an update.

I don't think there's a word for when Wikipedia corrects someone else... but this site doesn't deserve any credit. The whole "Google owns gBox" thing was a lie that spread very quickly through old and new media alike, but there were a few channels (including Forbes and the AP) that did a little homework and discovered the truth. Most blogs and wikis just regurgitate what they read in the papers, so the problem both spread by and fixed itself. White 720 18:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
