Why did 'Apple' had to be capitalized in the title in this case? It's not in German and it's about the fruit, not the computer company.
Thanks to that I was expecting something about Appel retro Computers.
- zooweemama 3y agosame here!
- droopyEyelids 3y agoProbably the user submitted it on a Mac that auto "corrected" the capitalization
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoAs it should be, they came first. Hope they sue the fruit for infringing the trademark of the old famous computer company.

- sohkamyung 3y agoYou have to ask Dang. I submitted the story with "apple" and HN capitalized it. I left it like that to see the comments about capitalization. :-) P.S. I submitted it on a Win 11 machine running Firefox.
- lainga 3y agoReminds me of gofmt insisting "Id" should always be "ID" and in the process totally dunking on Freud
- MichaelZuo 3y agoIt doesn't have a system to correct the 'auto correction' system?
- hellotheretoday 3y agoThey’re remaking the newton AND the IIc. With science!
- drooopy 3y agoHopefully they'll bring back the ones with a replaceable battery and upgradeable storage and ram.
- tpmx 3y agoBecause HN applies various adjustments to submitted post titles - without notifying the poster. A more honest approach would be to have a two-phase submission process, where the submittee is allowed to fix any mistakes made by the algo.
- CharlesW 3y agoFYI, you can fix poor automatic changes by choosing “Edit” after submission.
- tpmx 3y agoFYI, that is not how humans work.
- CharlesW 3y agoI'm a human, and that's how it worked. I was unsatisfied with a poor automatic change, clicked "Edit" because I'm stubborn that way, saw that it worked, and then shared the solution so that other contributors could do the same. My apologies for any offense.
