It’s bad enough that YouTube is fast becoming the VCR for the MySpace set; now people are uploading crap without first getting their facts straight…

My weekend newsfeeds were all abuzz with the story of how the BBC mistakenly interviewed a London cabbie about a legal decision in the case between The Beatles’ Apple Corps and Apple Computer.

While the Cock-up did indeed take place, the gentlemen in front of the cameras was not a cab driver but instead an IT professional applying for a job at the Beeb. Watch the video for yourself and you’ll hopefully agree that all things considered the poor guy ended up doing an okay job!
