Comment It was Chrome's fault! (Score 1) 376

Lindenberger said Facebook, or websites that were linked on Facebook, is really the only source his mother ever relied on for her anti-vaccine information.

Really, how empty a statement is that. He could have said, "The Chrome browser (or websites that were accessible via Chrome) was the only source" or "The Google search engine (or websites that were linked by search results) was the only source".

Comment Doesn't anyone do math anymore? (Score 1) 64

How does someone report that a $17 million settlement means that "each of those 16 million people get between $13 and $31" and not see the math error? If you follow the links, you eventually find out that they expect only 2-5% of the class to opt-in to get paid. But how does someone summarize it so poorly? In reality, the lawyers get $5.6 million, the expenses for the mailing will probably come to $4 million, and about $7 million is available for the 16 million people. Only because so few people will respond will anyone get more than $1.
