With a capital J in the title, this reads as a really creepy attempt at resurrecting "the leader".

- deciplex 12y agoThis is what I clicked the linked expecting actually, and now my employer likely thinks I am looking for other work, heh.
- NicoJuicy 12y agoPerhaps you'll get a raise in a month or so! PS. I don't know why i got downvoted, but i let my boss know that i would do some side projects on a freelancer base 4 months ago... 2 Months later, i got an insane raise without asking (+ 40%) This could be a similar situation :)
- Swizec 12y agoThat is basically asking for a raise. You increased your flight risk, your boss brought it back down. You also sent a signal that you aren't making enough money for your desired living standard and a good boss will make sure their employees have enough money so they don't have to worry about financial issues and can focus on the work.
- buro9 12y agoApple would probably do this in a quite cool way, a bit like Transcendence http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2209764/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2209764/
- mslot 12y ago0 Jobs found :(
- iDemonix 12y agoI was also very confused...
- qznc 12y agoThis is a good example why I dislike this american style of Capitalize Almost Everything in Titles. We can use bolder and bigger fonts these days to highlight titles.
- melling 12y agoReality should have been capitalized or jobs shouldn't have been. The title as written implies Steve Jobs. Virtual Reality Jobs at Apple Virtual reality jobs at Apple
- kissickas 12y agoAs far as I'm aware, British and American conventions are nearly identical. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/76479/where-can-i-find-a-list-of-capitalisation-rules-for-pure-british-writing https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/76479/where-can-... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_case#Headings_and_publication_titles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_case#Headings_and_publi...
- rplnt 12y agoI agree, the weird unconsistent capitalization of titles is pretty bad. The worst I've seen so far here on HN was: > Yosemite Sends Spotlight, Safari Searches to Apple, Third Parties But I got downvoted for complaining, so it's apparently pretty clear to others.
- karlb 12y agoI see this problem often with headlines on HN. Title case has one benefit – it reveals that a sentence is a title – but in doing so it makes proper nouns (like Apple's “Jobs”) indistinguishable from other words (like Apple's “jobs”). On HN, it's obvious that the titles are titles simply because of their location, so title case has no benefit. But we lose a lot by using title case, because we can't distinguish between “slack” and “Slack,” “flow” and ”Flow,” “wave” and “Wave,” and “medium” and “Medium.” New words are constantly being added to the list. Every day, many dictionary words are appropriated as new proper nouns, (today, I see that “Lobster” is now a proper noun), so when HN visitors read a headline in title case, they have to consider the possibility that every one of the capitalized words is a proper noun.
- vitd 12y agoTo me that says the problem isn't with title case but with the names people are picking for their businesses and products.
- smackfu 12y agoBut this isn't title case, this is randomly capitalizing the "J" in "Jobs".
- karlb 12y agoGood point. Though I expect it was a blundered attempt at title case.
- toblender 12y agoYeah totally, I thought they had a virtual Jobs, cracking the whip. This is not the color I asked for! Whip!
- robg 12y agoI thought exactly that and thought it could be really cool. Like the Michael Jackson and Tupac holograms.
