Wouldn't It Be Nice If You Could Correct The Encyclopedia Britannica? (Jan 26 2005 23:33 GMT) - You may recall that we somehow got involved in a bizarre battle over Wikipedia, when I got into a discussion with a reporter who told me that Wikipedia was "outrageous," "repugnant" and "dangerous," mainly because it's not reviewed by "professionals." Despite a valiant effort, I was unable to ever convince the reporter, Al Fasoldt, that regular encyclopedias, complete with their experts, make mistakes too -- and, in fact, the problem is that those encyclopedias can't then be updated and fixed. In a story that was pretty much written to make Wikipedia fans gleeful, Many to Many points out that a 12-year-old boy has found a series of errors in the latest Encyclopedia Britannica. It may be wrong, but of course, it's not "dangerous" because it's been reviewed by experts. Apparently, certified false info is better than uncertified correct info. |

Soccer: You plonker, Rodney! (Jan 26 2005 23:33 GMT) - salmacis: Rodney Marsh has been sacked by Sky for making a tasteless joke on "You're on Sky Sports". How anybody could think a joke about the tsunami was acceptable, I have no idea. Personally, I've never forgiven him for his lipstick on a pig comment.. |

Queda algú sense GMail? (Jan 26 2005 23:31 GMT) - Si encara no heu provat el nou correu de Google, encara esteu a temps (ací hi teniu una revisió). Per exemple en esta pàgina hi ha un fum d'invitacions. I si no en teniu prou, dons escriviu un comentari que a mi me'n queden 10. Realment l'estratègia de Google ha sigut prou efectiva i pot ser amague alguna cosa, i no sóc l'únic que ho pensa. No crec que vulguen dominar el món (o sí), sino millorar el seu mercat publicitari. |
