Funny Comment in Taiwan News

Sometimes when non-technologists write carelessly about technology the results can be amusing. I generally don't nitpick knowing that I too have probably made many comical errors in my writing career. However, this one was particularly funny. From the Taiwan news:

"WiMAX is a relatively new telecommunications technology that can transit wireless data over long distances for computers or mobile phone users traveling at high speed."

What about stationary or slow moving computers and mobile phone users? Also, good luck keeping up with your high speed computer. Typing when the computer travels at high speeds is always a pain.

Hi Paul - yes, rather like the BBC correspondent last week - 'Hello, I'm Randa Bessing in Durban' Hmm, what is her name when she is Jo'burg ?
