Have you ever made a mistake at work?\u00a0 Either it is small and your colleagues rib you about it or it is bigger and the boss yells at you.<\/p>\n

What were you thinking?\u00a0 Those crazy test case output went to real clients!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t usually mess up at work but when I do it does tend to be noticeable.\u00a0 This is why I had to smile when I was recently window browsing at Amazon.com.<\/p>\n

\"emacs-p2g-power\"<\/a><\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Emacs-P2G-6460P-ATX-Power-Supply\/dp\/B0012IP5E0\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1479294623&sr=8-2&keywords=emacs+p2g<\/a><\/p>\n

It appears that the group that does the photos mixed up dangerous looking knifes with computer power supplies. \u00a0This error is not dangerous to life or limb but someone at Amazon obviously gets a chance to raise their exposure at work.<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, a similar group at Amazon.de didn’t have any problems knowing the difference between a knife and a power supply as they did get the graphics correct.<\/p>\n

\"amazon-de-power-supplies\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, not even the Germans get it correct all of the time.\u00a0 I was surprised to see that while expanding the results from the p2g<\/em> search a familiar image showed up.<\/p>\n

\"sendero-obsession-cd\"<\/a><\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/SENDERO-B-BAILEY-OBSESSION-Sendero-B-Bailey\/dp\/B0012IP5E0\/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1479295692&sr=8-16&keywords=p2g<\/a><\/p>\n

I guess the Germans are just as adventure loving as their American counterparts.\u00a0 It would not surprise me if someone copied this image to a default within Amazon for testing and forgot to revert back to the original when the testing was finished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
