A math professor in the Philippines has disproved Fermat's Last Theorem and been nominated for a Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the Grand Unified Theory. Impressive!

But wait! The tenacious journalistic talents of intrepid Filipino blogger Alecks Pabico have cast significant doubt on the veracity of this professor's claims.

There is so much I could say on all this, but it's all kind of apparent from these links. But this incident does deal a blow to the claim that bloggers aren't real journalists. Despite having no understanding of how trolls work, Alecks and his readers sure have a gread deal more journalistic credibility than, say, the Manila Times.
