Attention Span of a Gnat (Score 1)

99.9% of /. readers think "hardware" when they see the word "computer".
99.99% of the general public think "whatever's in that mysterious box" when they see the word computer--and that includes the tubes that hook up to the interwebs.

It's actually decent science reporting for the 99.99% of people who don't distinguish between hardware and software, and if one weren't a /. reader, one's attention span would exceed that of a gnat (not excluding myself here, btw), and one might have read (all the way on page 3):

"Surprisingly, perhaps – and with the exception of the Pentium floating point error, which was caused by a hardware glitch – all of the errors we've mentioned here could have been prevented. In that sense, they can all be thought of as software errors."

It's actually a pretty good article overall, though since the (presumably UK-based) audience of something called "TechRadar" ought to have more in common with /. than with the general public, the title could have been less inflammatory to those in the know...
