Wired magazine hands out the 2007 foot-in-mouth awards for science and technology. Follow this link to the full story for a better explanation of the context, but the entries include these gems.

Marc Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook:

Once every hundred years, media changes.

Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft on the iPhone launch:
