*sigh* Very first sentence.

"Linus Torvalds created Linux, which now runs vast swathes of the
internet, including Google and Facebook."

Yes he did and no it doesn't.  Well not on it's own it doesn't and I
would have expected a semi-technical rag like "Wired" to have some clue
what Linux is and what other tools are needed to "[run] vast swathes of
the internet, including Google and Facebook.

Next in Wired:
 - How Steve Jobs made the first Apple
 - "Wozniak"?  Who he?
