Ahh the complete idiocy of the mainstream press. What better way to scare people around Halloween than with a story about vampires....well vampire electronics. The Associated Press is reporting that apparently BRAND NEW research shows that electronics consume energy when they're in standby mode. OOOOoooooooohhhhhh, Scary!
This is perahaps the scariest bit of news we'll see all day, that journalism is so caught up in scare tactics that they find themselves so fucking behind the times on any bit of technology news. I bet tomorrow we'll hear more on how lighting only strikes people wearing iPods, ignoring the statistics that most people own an iPod so there is a greater chance that a person struck by lightning will have an iPod on them. Stupid ass media
