A wonderful story of how two Brits hoaxed the worldwide media -- including Time and Wired -- about their tooth phone: Lying Through Their Teeth.
The sad part is when magazines are incapable of admitting fault, such as Time: "Time is not selecting the best retail products, we are recognizing the concept and technology behind these inventions. Many inventions never see the light of day, and we are aware of that. We do, however, try to keep the number of pie-in-the-sky items to a minimum to ensure balance in the mix," said a staff writer who worked on the story but sounds like her reply was pre-written by the PR department.
Just another reason justifying me giving up on Time magazine nearly a decade ago.
