The author of the Newsweek article had no idea what she was talking about. She claimed that a reference to the obsolete concept of "disc space" proved that the author of the white paper had to be old. Its a shameful hack job.

I take it you are ascribing both the idea that it proves that the paper is old, and the idea that "disk space" is obsolete, to her, and are not intending the word "obsolete" to be "your" word? Also, some people draw a distinction between disc and disk, so I think it is at least bordering on acceptable pedantry for me to point out that she used the latter spelling.
