I have no idea why you're getting upvoted so much, or really why you're complaining about this submission - "Confirmed:" is the title of the article.

- mkyc 17y agoThere's no rule that says we should use the same vapid title here. I yearn for the day when I come to HN and find that either the submitters or the editors have decided to spoil every teaser and ReMove Those Damned Flow Impeding Capitals. From "Why Japan’s Cellphones Haven’t Gone Global" to "Hardware bulk prevents Japanese cellphone globalization". Throw on a subtitle! Don't worry, I know where to find the actual article title. Sure, don't change titles to something weird and unrecognizable, but half the time I have no idea what I'm in for. Spoil it for me, summarize the whole damn thing in the title if you can.
- Pistos2 17y agoI don't have a problem with this thread's title, but I have noticed that a non-negligible number of HN titles of late have been poorly chosen (i.e. fail to convey the gist of what is being linked to).
- icey 17y agoI'll admit it: I come to the comments section first on every story I visit; I saw his comment and agreed. I didn't realize when I upvoted it that the linked story had the "Confirmed:" in the headline, or I wouldn't have upvoted it. C'est la vie.
