Idiot of the Day, Forbes’ Louis Bedigian

I wonder how much do Louis Bedigian and Forbes editors get paid. Apparently fact-checking is not something they like doing. Either that or they should work for Fox News.

During the summer patent trial involving Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Samsung, jurors found that Apple was guilty of infringing on Samsung’s patents and awarded the company $1 billion in damages.

It should say: “jurors found that Samsung was guilty of infringing on Apple’s patents”

Frustrating Headlines

The headline says:

Windows 8 is 84 percent less frustrating than Windows 7, report says

It is apparently a lot more frustrating trying to figure out what the headline is really saying. In addition to that how can one quantify frustation?

It is also apparent the study did not take into account all the frustation-filled phone called from people trying to figure out why they can’t find certain Control Panels in Windows 8.
