Surprised it took me this long to realize that Ars doesn't have much better quality control than VentureBeat et al, but it's crystal clear now. Tim Bray's twitter is obviously unofficial, and the headline uses broadness and extrapolation to make it misleading in a way that makes it seem more interesting.
Farewell, Ars Technica of old...

- benatkin 14y agoNope, missed that.
