A new study conducted by me shows a link between Google News and a lack of productivity on my part. I use Google News because I like getting my news from lots of sources, since every source is biased, but unfortunately combining all these sources into one page leads to mistakes. Such as the following bloopers snagged from the main page at various times in the last few months:

Apparently Bill's new project is the Apple iPhone SDK

Looks like McCain got a facelift since I last saw him!

Look at the pre-historic dinosaur ready to crush and eat his prey! Oh, and there's also a T-Rex skull.

Sure, it makes a little sense. The McCain article mentions Democrats, I'm sure Newsweek was mentioned in the iPhone article, and Dinosaurs fit into Science, but there's at least one little blooper I notice a week where the picture next to the article would give the wrong message (Such as the Obama McCain one). Clearly someone got their script to work 99%, and left it at that, though that last 1% of images that are mistakes would be very hard to catch, I think. Anyway, I hope I can do a regular potpourri of these images.
