Ahhh.. the annual Business 2.0 101 dumbest moments in business for the last year are now online. Personal favorites:

#15: By the way, those Do-Not-Call people called again, wondering if you did not want them to call.In February, Seattle-based software firm Spam Arrest starts spamming people who correspond with current customers. The come-on? “Enjoy a spam-free inbox.”

#40: That’s OK. We hear the computer science department sucks anyway. In February, Cornell University sends out an e-mail to incoming freshmen that begins, “Greetings from Cornell, your future alma mater!” The message is sent to all 1,700 students who applied for early decision, including the 550 who’ve been rejected.

#91: “Quagmire” is still available. A day after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Sony files an application to trademark the term “Shock and Awe” for a videogame. Sony later pulls the filing, calling it an act of “regrettable bad judgment.”
