Yes, I sent them a mail and they changed it. At least in online media  
they can do that ... I saw only the Financial Times article in print  
and from cursory inspection it looked okayish.

But it's amazing how people can get it so wrong - like, in the Sat.1  
news I was credited as "Prof." Bert Freudenberg of "Hasso-Plattner- 
Institut", even though I'm positive I gave them my card which says  
none of this. Sigh.
