From the Telegraph today: 'Faceless people' revealed as marketing stunt for new Lotus Eagle - Telegraph

"A quick Google search for "Faceless people" pulls up a website called "True Character", and a link to the address True Character. According to internet directory WhoIs, that domain name is owned by Group Lotus Plc."

The phrase: "internet directory WhoIs" grated with me; a "whois lookup" would have been accurate.

I looked up this "Claudine Beaumont" the author of the article and quickly got my explanation for her ineptness she moved to the technology role from a position of: "gardening commissioning editor"!!! (http://www.buffalo.co.uk/site/documents/28Sep07.doc)

It's not just her article that shows technical ineptness, her blog today also contains two broken links:
Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible

Why does the national media have such appalling quality coverage of technology / internet issues, it almost appears as if people like this, and those who employ them are proud of their ignorance?

It's not just this girl - there's Benjamin Cohen on Channel Four, and Nigel Powell in the Sunday Times I can't understand why in this area such sloppiness is tolerated.

I have to agree with you! I also don't understand why those people TRY to use such language when there are so much simple ways to say it. I bet people who are actually involved in technology knows more then those who just talk about it. About that broken link... too bad...
