Zuckerberg beats Assange to claim Person of the Year™

Alex 64
WTF?

Time is staffed by idiots

Time magazine really does appear to be staffed by complete morons these days. "The Tea Party" was a candidate for "person of the year"? Obviously these people have problems comprehending the meaning of the word "person". Sure the Tea Party was influential (for people in the US at least), but that's just nuts.

And Zuckerberg gets the award "for changing how we all live our lives"? Are they on drugs? Or just plain stupid? As far as I'm aware, Facebook hasn't changed the way I live my life, but maybe that's just me. Me, and the millions who have Facebook accounts, but haven't bothered with them for months, because it's a complete waste of time, that is.

I guess the problem is that Assange made the like of Time look very very stupid. Because he's basically done what they should have been doing all along - journalism.

Job Title

"Trick cyclist"? Are you kidding me? What the hell kind of job description is that?

How about "Professor Daniel Simons, experimental psychologist, cognitive scientist, currently at the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois, formerly Harvard".

I know El Reg is dumbing down to a stupendous degree, but that was just insulting.

No I don't have any connection with him, just a large degree of respect for the very good work he's done, and I think he deserves proper credit for it.

"Trick cyclist". Sheesh...
