No, this was NOT "The Register's discovery". This was originally discussed here on HN last Friday, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2317804 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2317804 by marcusramberg, http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=marcusramberg http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=marcusramberg. After replicating some of the tests, as I documented here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2317975 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2317975 in the comments, then here on my site in full, http://trending.us/2011/03/12/performance-numbers-for-nitro-javascript-engine-in-ios-4-3/ http://trending.us/2011/03/12/performance-numbers-for-nitro-.... That was Friday. Then yesterday the author of the Register story, Cade Metz, contacted me out of the blue about my blog post. I more or less told him (what I imagine every developer he contacted about this story) was that Yes, it runs slower in UIWebViews and that No, its not an Apple conspiracy, and that this appears to be a bug that Apple is now aware of going by posts in the Developer forums. I told Mr. Metz that if he can get into the dev forums, he can see for himself, but that I could not directly provide links or anything because the forums are confidential. I don't intend to lose my developer license, thank you. Then yesterday afternoon, the story was published. I was not referred to directly (for which I am thankful), though perhaps one of his anonymous sources was a paraphrasing of some of the things I said. Now here we go again in the echo chamber that is the Valley, where ReadWriteWeb is regurgitating a non-story published by The Register, that was verified by me and others on our personal sites, that I (we?) heard about from Hacker News, that was originally reported by someone else who first found the problem. Assuming marcusramberg was the original discoverer of the this, has he gotten any credit? No. Fucking mountains out of molehills.
