Just As I Thought

Reporters are about as good as analysts

First it was a ridiculous report from the Dow Jones Newswire claiming that because the iPhone uses flash memory it must be getting ready for Flash content:

Now, the San Francisco Chronicle reports this:

Um, guys — even a 10 year old knows that it doesn’t upload web pages (per se), it downloads them.

If the news media is constantly riddled with this sort of stupid, idiotic errors in tech reporting, who can say what huge errors they’re making when reporting, oh, politics and government?
