The original Newsweek article has a picture of his house. Is that really necessary?

It also talks about how after speaking to Nakamoto – who told him to leave him alone... Nakamoto's Son – who told him to leave him alone... and Nakamoto's Brother – who told him to leave him alone... The reporter still showed up at Nakamoto's home uninvited. And was surprised when the poor guy called the cops.

Did the main story about it get flagged off the front page? Spiteful. There were like 200+ comments.

No; it was renamed to the proper title of the story 'The Face Behind Bitcoin' - still there towards the top with over 400 comments. (Postition 11 right now)

Bitcoiners on Reddit are doing a little digging into whether this is really THE Satoshi: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1zpuer/the_newsweek... Personally, I'm not convinced. Also, there are zero references to how cool model trains are in the Bitcoin source code.
