Please forgive the metacomment, but god TechCrunch is terrible, I've never been so frustrated reading a blog
1) What's with the unreadable, unlinked graphs? I can barely make them out
2) I tried to go to the source by clicking the "released" link, which took me to... another TechCrunch article!
3) All the other links in the article are to other TechCrunch articles too! How's that for sourcing...
4) I looked all over for a Source: link at the bottom, like Engadget and virtually every other news aggregator blog out there has, but unless I'm blind, no dice.

- dpritchett 16y agoYou can thank Tynt for that - and it's not just used by TechCrunch. The easiest way to opt out is to block tcr.tynt.com in your hosts/adblock/privoxy settings. Offending file: http://tcr.tynt.com/javascripts/Tracer.js http://tcr.tynt.com/javascripts/Tracer.js
