I went to Philips‘ site to compare their various headlamps for autos. I picked two for comparison. The results were: 12V versus 12.8V, and both were the same wattage. Oh, yeah. How about… Lumens?

Diagnosis: Coordination FAIL, IT and Marketing teams out of sync.

None of this silliness lives up to that great moment when IBM forgot to renew their domain registration! (Wow. This topic- “ibm.com domain registration expired”- now yields no useful hits on Google or even Bing. Wow. Somebody paid a lot to bury that painful memory).
