In the Sept. 10 "Culture Gabfest," Stephen Metcalf referred to the proprietor of the blog Naked Capitalism, Ives Smith, as a "he." Ives Smith is a woman.

In a Sept. 4 "Technology" column, Farhad Manjoo incorrectly referred to a Firefox add-on as Tabs Mix Plus. It is Tab Mix Plus. He also misstated that Firefox 3.1 is "available in beta." The current release is an alpha version.

In the Sept. 4 "XX Factor XXtra," Hanna Rosin misidentified W. Bradford Wilcox as a historian. Wilcox is a sociologist.
