Errors in Reporting

If you read the paper or watch the news, and know something about the topic of a segment, you will often find lots of obvious errors. The Chicago Tribune has an article that is a good example of this, relating to the spread of computers in India. Did you know that its dangerous to "take out the power cord" from a computer or that you can disassemble a hard drive, put it back together and expect it to work without a clean room?

Enjoy the article, and feel free to laugh.

Look for similar errors in other articles, you will find that it is dangerous to trust the media too much.

Thanks to Dad for pointing this out (I'm not a big newspaper person)
