In an article last Friday, The Crimson made a mistake that reveals reporters to be what we are (for the most part) -- more knowledgable about medieval fairytales than about computer science. In a story about Google's donation of 20 Android cell phones to the notorious introduction to computer science, CS 50, The Crimson quoted instructor David J. Malan '99 praising Google's "dragon drop programming piece" -- a fanciful typo that should have read, "drag and drop." Needless to say, Malan got a kick out of the typo and breathed a bit of fire back at The Crimson. After the jump, see video clip of his admittedly witty put-down from the close of lecture the day the article appeared in the paper:
