Article Mistake corrections

[Voicy]

Hi Nut123

You are of course correct, but that is why we published the ANC's article in full, unedited. There are other mistakes as well, but who are we to change official ANC documents

I had a chuckle at that. Also, is the ANC promoting software piracy? Since they refer to music, video clips and full movies.

The funniest was "From 2 mega bytes per second upward, it will take a single click to access documents from the ANC website." I have always confused clicks with time. I wonder how many times I'd have to click to access documents if I'm on anything below 2MBps.

Oh Jan, once more unto the breach eh? (Cell C 21 Mbps mobile broadband now in Gauteng" article) ...actually, I'm getting bogged down in *just* the right way to be smarmily right so, feeling generous as a result of tech-swag, I'll relent and leave it at suggesting you read up on compliment vs complement - you managed to fall foul of that dastardly duo in said article.

As always, thanks for the feedback bdt. Fixed it.

Staff Writer blaps in There can be only one:

If Meintjes is correct it may be a battle royal. FibreCo has the advantage of two strong anchors tenants – Cell C and Internet Solutions – but DFA has an advantage over FibreCo because of its big head start and established client base.

That should be anchor.

Thanks, fixed.

Back on the N8 review

Just like the iPhone, the N8 is carved out of a solid block of steel

Pretty sure it's aluminium?

Pretty sure it's aluminium?

It is indeed. Anodised to be exact. So fixed.

I frequently read the news articles on MyBB and often I see articles (like this one) that has the "Comments and views" wording at the bottom that is supposed to link through to the accompanying thread on the forum. But there is no active link, just the words..

Just to clarify why this happens: We link from the articles to the forum manually. It takes a minute or so to create the forum topic and then edit the article to link to it.

Glaring error in The fastest, cheapest broadband now in Gauteng:

Finally, the operator has gone live in the market where it's really going to make a difference. For one, Vodacom, MTN and newcomer 8ta will notice.

...either MAKE it one of the above or, more correctly, change that to "once"!

Where to for the optical drive?

Already services such as Steam offer the ability to download games, Blizzard also lets one download their games directlt from their sites.

...surely that's avoidable?

Paragraph 4 refers to the rabbits as rodents.

Rabbits are NOT rodents.

 

[Jan]

Rabbits are NOT rodents.

The keeper of all knowledge (Wikipedia) corroborates your story:

Rabbits and hares were formerly classified in the order Rodentia (rodent) until 1912, when they were moved into a new order Lagomorpha. This order also includes pikas.

Sadly, since this is a Sapa article I can't correct it :-(

 

[Thestealth]

Maybe the article was written before 1912...

From Ben Kelly's Motorola article:the opening sentence reads

In the tech world you often get the sense that a company's engies are aflame long before it actually begins its final death spiral.

...y'all may want to fix that.

In the comparison tables: MTN's 75 MB data bundle should cost R49, not R79 as you have it.

If it sounds like I'm in any way supportive of MTN it's only by accident.

Cell C data bundle pricing article:

Cell C complimented its prepaid pricing by launching an accompanying twelve month contract a few weeks ago with pricing that is significantly cheaper than Vodacom, MTN and the newly launched 8ta.

"Staff Writer" *STILL* hasn't gotten to grips with the great "complement conundrum" ..dare we hope that 'he' will?
