The obsession with HD. I have a pretty big LCD screen, and sure stuff looks a bit better in HD, but I am not going to freak out every time a station screens a sporting event in SD. Maybe it's because I grew up watching sport on a little CRT screen but it really doesn't detract from my enjoyment of it.
Why Australian governments spend hundreds of millions of dollars designing swipe systems for public transport like Myki that have all sorts of problems and cost blowouts in development, instead of just picking the best one from somewhere else in the world and using that.
The criteria that art judges use. I read an article the other day about a piece that was shortlisted for a major British sculpture prize that was essentially just the artist's unmade bed. Literally, she got out of bed one day and submitted it unaltered for the prize. I mean, I get that art is often abstract and I don't expect to understand it all but surely there should be some degree of artistic intent behind its creation before you can call it that.
