NYT: "Think Different" in L.A.

updated 08:30 pm EDT, Sat May 26, 2001


The New York Times' coverage of last night's Western Conference Finals Game 3 between the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers contained mention of a just-completed mural near the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. However, the mural was attributed to the wrong company. Update: The online version of the article has since been corrected. [registration required]

As visitors drove up to the Staples Center this afternoon, they could view a just-completed mural on the outside of a downtown hotel. On the left was Wilt Chamberlain finger- rolling the ball in, in the middle was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar launching a sky hook and on the right was O'Neal dunking ferociously, his knees up in the air, like a kid hanging on a jungle gym in the playground. On top of the mural was the Microsoft slogan, "Think Different."

    Sad

    Sayings, inventions brilliant ideas can get attributed to the wrong people who reap all the glory. For instance, who knows that Tesla was probably the real inventor of Radio - Marconi was just a much better businessman.

    Hopefully Apple won't have this problem.

    Different MS slogan?

    Microsoft think different? What a novel idea! If Microsoft thought different they just may come up with an original idea.

    ....nahhh.

    Oy

    The NY Times is generally very favorable to Apple. David Pogue is their technology correspondent. So, I guess just chalk this one up to ignorance.

    I hope the Times prints a retraction. That is some severe bad publicity.
