Article Mistake corrections

Hilton's right phone contract article erratum, in this paragraph:
Crucially, you need to get an idea of what your call rate is out-of-bundle. This is likely where you’re going to end up paying more than you should. It is insanity in 2012 to pick a contact where you’re going to end up being billed at a rate of (or equivalent to) R2.85 per minute in peak times. Literally every other available option is cheaper.

I get a divide by zero in the HDD & SSD article at
Helium is less dense than air, allowing for lower friction and drag on the storage platters in the hard drive, making it cooler and more power efficient. It also reduces the distance needed between drives, allowing Western Digital to cram up to 7 platters into a single 3.5 inch housing for a total of 7TB of storage.

Surely that should be distance between platters as 'distance between drives' would mean the actual drives ..for which you could reduce distance between them simply by stacking them on top of each other?

The [-]raging idiot[/-] fool responsible for the PIN codes article intro (and then copy/pasted in by jes :stare: ) clearly has rampant RAS syndrome; in both the thread OP and the news sections we are regaled with:
Is your PIN number one of the easiest to predict? New research reveals the most and least used PIN numbers

It is never, ever, EVER "PIN number", dammit.

Also, down at the end of the article we have
Data Genetics urged consumers which used some of the most common PIN combinations to “apply common sense and immediately change them to something a little less predictable”.

To my knowledge that should be 'that' or 'who', not 'which'.

Okay Jeremy, when it's as easy as going online to get word definitions, how did you cock your Pac-Man article up like that? This is not a fault (even a junior) journalist should make! I mean, really:
The publisher posted a survey on the Pac-Man Facebook page, which shows four different iterations of the synonymous character.
