"when douglas crockford went to paypal, they churned out their normal thin tosh, but topping it off: thinking java and javascript are the same thing (since been corrected)." - from Chris, one of the commenters.

- sounds231 14y ago...This is the second Java/Javascript mixup I've seen on TC in the last two days. The first one was here - http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/30/why-enterprise-apps-are-moving-to-single-page-design/ http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/30/why-enterprise-apps-are-mov.... The third subheading originally read "Transitioning Developers From HTML To Java." The worst part? These two articles aren't even by the same author. So TechCrunch has multiple writers that don't know the difference.
