I'm assuming that Psion's bringing all this attention to the name for publicity, even if it's not positive publicity... at least it gets it's name out there. That said, it's still unbelievably stupid.
I thought this was caused by human error? As in, someone put a " / " into the blocked sites list, and effectively blocked every website? I don't see how this was automated.
Google also did something worth noting, which was admitting the mistake, as well as admitting that they were the cause (and not their malware filtering company). It's rare that companies do that...
YAY FIOS! Verizon is awesome, and this is just a prime example of why!
If you only scored a 75% on your tests throughout school, and sometimes dipped to 65%, how far would you get in life?
Haha '
Also, haha Mac Fanboys.
Mike... why does the Yelp link go to BBC6 music programs? Figured you'd want to fix that. ;)
Agreed. Either that, or he's just plain dumb.
Glitches. Hate those little buggers.
Okay, this tops the laugh factor on the previous article. HAHAHA. I
I haven't laughed at a TechDirt article like that in a long time. People are SO FUNNY! Food copyrights hahahahahaha.
Where's he going next? Probably the RIAA.
There are many other slogans which drive me crazier...
"Where you at?" - Boost Mobile
"I'm lovin' it" - McDonalds
Just a couple examples...
Matt: I believe the thing that both you and Mike are disputing is the meaning of the word "said". Unfortunately, the word can both express an implication as well as an exact series of words. Therefore, I believe that you're technically both correct on the matter of what Obama "said". Mike would be correct as he did not directly make a correlation between the lipstick comment and Palin, and Matt would be correct (to a point) that the popular opinion is that he implied, with his lipstick statement, that Palin was a "pig". The only issue I find here is with interpretation, and that will always be an issue, as we're all human, we all interpret our environment and those in it differently than others. That, good sirs, is a fact.
Also, Politics suck. I believe I'll be expressing my right not to vote, as I don't have an opinion on who the best candidate is, nor what the most desirable political party is. G'day.
So does plain ol' moron. =)
I couldn't agree more. The only thing technology gives us that's even RELATED to the subject is the MEDIUM to present our stupidity to the masses.
Well said.
HAHAHA!! Wow, what a company! Next thing you know they make you pay to use the bathroom. I mean seriously, a "good work environment?!" Bahaha.
He "invented the internet"... He SHOULD know people have blogs and crap.
Who the hell would want to leave Verizon for TWC or Comcast anyways?? FIOS > All...
But it's still quite ironic. He was scammed via the media that he created.
