Article Mistake corrections

Cool tech in cars has errors in the Fiat section
The latter is limited in scope for now, but does include ecod: Drive.

Ecod: Drive analyses driving in forensic detail, including everything from gearshifts and distance travelled to CO2 emitted and journey costs.

Per the graphic AND the description thereunder that should be eco: Drive. Note, a space has to be added in THIS part of the site 'cos ':' and 'D' right up against each other gets you a big fat :D .. :rolleyes:

:D Thanks, corrected.
 
Go Jeremy:
But exactly what tech has made the expedition possible, ans what powers the rover across the surface of Mars?

The mast cameras can be raised to provide a large viewing area, and to survey the land prior to the rover travelling large distances for nothing interesting.

...*nothing* interesting, really?
 
Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB SSD review errata:
On paper, (Solid-State Drives (SSDs) promise to offer massive improvements in read/write speed over their more traditional Hard-Disk Drive (HDD) brethren – but at a cost.

needs attention for getting lost on his brackets (the opening one is redundant) and, frankly, Unnecessary Capitalisation Use To Describe Something.

The the real clanger is here:
This machine was equipped with two drive bays, and Windows was installed on a Seagate Momentus XT 500GB 7200RPM Hybrid Drive with an 8GB SSD cache.

First, again With The Capitalisation, sheesh. But, more egregiously, Seagate list two Momentus XT models: the 500GB with 4GB SLC NAND partition and the 750GB with 8GB SLC partition. But, more than that, the 750 is SATA3 tech, while the 500 is SATA2. And it may have been a good idea to note that the Momentus drives use SLC, and how it's different to MLC as it directly goes to the Seagate speed.

As-is the article is at best muddy about which Seagate they used; but, given that the 750/8GB/SATA3 is very likely to beat (the pants off a) 500/4GB/SATA2, they need to be clear in order for the comparisons to be valid. Also, for it to less of a fluff piece, the rockstar mentions in SSD-land are the controllers: SandForce, Indilinx, et al, that aspect could/should have got a mention.
 
On-stage tech mishaps errata:
More recent on-stage tech mishaps – such as the Windows 98 crash; Honda’s robot under-performing; the iPhone 4′s troubles; and Microsoft’s troublesome Surface presentation – remind us that even the top-tier of the tech elite have their fair-share of problems.

is obvious. But for
Honda attempted to show off the pinnacle of the Chinese company’s technology in the form of Asimo.

the writer should be flogged, or at least made to buy a round for the office for a clanger like that.

So is there no interest in fixing that one ..the one with, well, bogus "facts"??!
 
No bogus facts, just an honest mistake. It should be corrected by now. *checks* yep it is. I mistook one of the parameters for the cache flash size.

Thanks

We ALL know about making honest mistakes, I was never excited about intent: shit happens and mistakes manage to somehow get through the system. I was more amazed that, in an article that depends on specs, it was apparently being left uncorrected. But that Needless Capitalisation Thing Still Needs Work Though.. :p
