Top 10 technology mistakes

“It’s been a week of mistakes. It kicked off first thing on
Monday morning when the news of an Apple prototype iPhone being
left in a Bay Area bar and has ended with McAfee admitting to a
major mistake.

“Mistakes are part and parcel of human nature. We are human,
ergo we make mistakes. It’s a story as old as time. But this is not
something to be scorned. There have been many glorious mistakes
that have advanced human knowledge immensely.

“Research into one topic has led to accidental discoveries that
have changed history. Penicillin, the X-Ray, the electron and the
Bakewell Pudding were all discoveries that came about through
mistakes.

“But the mistakes we’re dealing with on this list aren’t so much
the glorious mistakes of times past, but more recent errors that
had a concrete result. We’ve kept this as technical as possible but
business, as ever, intrudes. Have a look and see what you
think.”
