from the article: "The latest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary is published today.."
what are they referring to? it's certainly not OED3, which was "launched" in 2000 and is years away from completion--and may never be "published" in the classical sense.

Alex's link in the bada bing thread gives us the clue, I think: ...the tome, the largest one-volume dictionary of English, the book's publishers said.
(My opinion is that it oughtta be ba-da-bing, or ba-da bing. Grr.)
Neat, that so many ref.'s to the publishing have been noted here.
