It's been a bit of a drought of Clever Geeks so far this year so it's nice to see that someone has finally stepped up to proudly take the mantle. I must admit I came close to declaring Australia's Attorney General, George Brandis, as the winner this week but I have covered his rampant stupidity elsewhere.
This week's recipient of this most hallowed award goes to the production assistant at Chicago WGN (an local news service) who in setting up a story included a brief shot of their mobile device, showing their bookmarks and browsing history (the video has been removed). It was only a brief shot but that was enough for sharp eyed internet denizens to spot the link at the top of the list, the less than family friendly Pornhub.
The moral of this story is, if you are going to let your device be shown on TV, however briefly, make sure you don't have anything you don't want seen on display.
So, to the production assistant who learnt the hard way that nothing can be hidden once it is on the internet I hereby award you this weeks Clever Geek Of The Week award.
