how bizarre. i wonder what the game is

Asking a roman history expert how a faucet diverter works because they said stuff about lead pipes once

Apparently they now hire reporters who are in elementary school and use it to do their homework.

It's pronounced "yiff"

Google is all slop so now you have to be Google

I had no clue HuffPo now had a "1998 PC Format" desk.

I took a class on PC architecture in 1996. When I suggested that IRQ5 on the IBM PC in 1981 was intended for USB, my instructor threw something at me. Clearly I should have said it was intended for *USBs*.

Bizarre. I guess just looking for filler quotes, but so weird

Well humanity is clearly near its end...

Wikipedia. Why you?

Hi, can you do my reporting for me? Yes, for free. Thanks!

This is definitely not what they're going for but interviewing techie people about basic ass tech stuff would probably be really funny if they did it right

Is that email from a huffpo related domain? Cause Caroline seems like she's a real person, but i'm surprised to see that list of questions from an actual reporter.

..She's saying all this to a man who knows about PCX files and D-sub cables.

(Wrong answers only)

1996

What exactly does USB stand for? And what do those words mean in this context?

So then, what does USB stand for?

Now for the ultimate question... Is it said Jif or Gif?

everyone knows its the upgraded version of USA

there might have been a mildly interesting linguistics angle on what things people referred to as “USB” in 2016, do they mean memory sticks, charging cables, the aux cord, the port?
