In line with this, I saw the NYT goof with auto-generated financial info links. In the following paragraph from Circuits today, they linked "Palm" to the makers of the Palm Pilot. I somehow don't think "Palm of Doom" is quite the recognition Palm One, Inc. wants.

"Video-game studies is still a nascent field, too young to have a standard list of must-play games, let alone endowed professorships. The day Mr. Bellin and Dr. Palmer can meet at the faculty club to discuss Mr. Bellin's seminar on first-person shooters of the 1990's, or reminisce about Dr. Palmer's mastery of Akira's Stun Palm of Doom in time to complete his exegesis of Virtua Fighter 4, is still far off."
