The headline is pure linkbait. The Chrome Web Store is not a ChromeOS store, it is for Chrome on all platforms. I would bet that most people using the CWS use it on Chrome on a desktop machine, not on ChromeOS.
- dang 13y agoYes. I rewrote it to use the less baity subtitle. The HN guidelines call for not rewriting titles except when they are misleading or linkbait. Edit: the article is pretty lame too. Is this a significant announcement? If it is, can someone suggest a better url? If it isn't, we may tag it as fluff.
- ewoodrich 13y agoI wouldn't really say it's a significant announcement. It takes up about two sentences at the end of Microsoft's announcement of new Office Online features: http://blogs.office.com/2014/04/14/more-office-online-commenting-printing-tell-me-and-more/ http://blogs.office.com/2014/04/14/more-office-online-commen...
- dang 13y agoOk. We tagged it as fluff. This is a penalty assigned to articles that aren't intellectually substantive. Usually we apply it to obviously sensational pieces. The current one is a borderline case, so I'll take the penalty off if more people object. The tech press is good at camouflaging fluff, though, and this is one thing dragging down the quality of the front page. I believe a solution may be for HN to focus more on primary sources. We're going to be asking the community for help with this.
