Bell Globemedia Interactive lay-offs; updated validator
BGM Interactive, one of the heavyweights in the Canada Internet content game, has cut about 10 percent of its workforce. The company — my employer — operates The Globe and Mail Web sites, CTV’s Web sites, and Sympatico, among others.
A new mark-up validator is coming from the W3C. Along with bug fixes, there are (much needed) improvements to the error messages, better support for a variety of character encodings, and more Document Types are supported.
Although no release date is yet scheduled, you can test it now, but be warned: “the code is not ready for use in a production environment.“

While I agree sites should consider more creative ways to generate revenue, your argument, with all due respect, is a bit weak -- and considering thestar.com is not even part of Bell Globemedia Interactive, it also isn't that relevant in this situation.
