Associated Press, via The Age:
New York, NYOkay, they didn't write exactly that. Meanwhile, same bat-section, same bat-paper:
May 9, 2005 - 11:11AM Journalists - those mainstream writers who believe rules are for other people - are fighting back against criticism that their work is unreliable, libelous or just poorly done.
John Davies, director of the company's solutions development market group, is eyeing the estimated 1.2 billion children aged 15-18 as potential notebook buyers and the world's estimated 760 million field workers, who could be in the market for a handheld device or smartphone.1.2 billion children aged 15-18? Add to that the 4.5 billion children aged 0-14, and it's a wonder the 740 million adults left over have time to think in between changing nappies and grounding recalcitrant teenagers. It took me nearly a minute to find out that the estimated world population of children aged 15-18 is 480 million. Data here. Of course, you have to be sufficiently awake to realise that with a global population of roughly six billion, you're not going to find one-fifth of that in a four-year age bracket. Blogs: Fact-checking an ass near you.
