Irony Corner - Microsoft-Ryanair-Ciao

A reader emails the following:

Do you find it ironic that Ryanair is asking Microsoft to help "keep out" screen scrapers (who, one could argue, are price comparison and meta search sites) - on the same day that Microsoft announce they are buying a price comparison site in Europe. [Ciao.com]
Indeed.

Of course the fact that Microsoft owns a flight search engine isn't ironic in itself already. Although funnily enough Farecast wasn't included on that Ryanair list?! Maybe that's why MSFT got contacted :)
