WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: August 15, 2002 Idiobots: an apology (The Register) -- "InfoWorld has taken the precaution of assuming that all of its readers suffer from an extreme version of this affliction: where the short term memory lasts only four or five words. That's why we need to keep being reminded what a "server" is … twenty three times an article." (Comments: Thanks MadMan.)

Who reads infoworld? I use to work as a server admin where the only reason you got infoworld was to have it around when boss stopped by.. Posted by: Fred Grott on August 15, 2002 08:16 AM
"...in the movie Memento, the Guy Pierce character suffers from a condition in which his short-term memory only lasts around two minutes." Technically, it was Guy Pierce's long-term memory that lasted only about two minutes. Short-term memory/working memory only holds between (arguably) 4 to 9 "chunks" of information at a time. http://www.humanfactors.com/downloads/sep00.asp Posted by: Ryan on August 15, 2002 12:17 PM
I liked this quote the best: "Really. InfoWorld couldn't look more ridiculous if it made editor in chief Mike Vizard arrive at press conferences in a clown car, whose doors fall off as soon as it's parked. " Posted by: Lydia on August 15, 2002 03:40 PM
