Off-topic, but it's always interesting to me to see how the big tech blogs (mashable, techcrunch, et al) can rewrite a story like this and grab the upvotes away from the original source, whether that be the publication that did the actual reporting or even a primary source like a company's blog.
I wonder if some HN users tend to reflexively upvote the mashable and techcrunch stories based on their domain?
- shii 16y agoI suspect with certain blogspammers that there's possibly some sort of voting in groups/vote rings going on. Then again, some people probably have sites like Mashable and TechCrunch in their RSS feeds and jumped at the link-baity title and rushed to post it on HN.
