Safari is the new IE 2: Revenge of the Linkbait

• pacomerh 11y ago
  I found your original article interesting, and I'm glad someone wrote about these Safari issues. But I also have to agree that one has to be very cautious when coming up with article titles. You're giving people a misleading context before even reading the content.

    He's mentions pretty early in the follow up that he doesn't really give a shit about misleading folks: "I choose headlines that grab attention; welcome to journalism 101." He may have apologized for that later on in the article but that's as far as I got before rolling my eyes and uttering "what an asshole."

      Wow, HN commenters are brutal! :) I thought the title captured the spirit of the piece; the problem was that people shared it without discussing the contents. As if to say, "Welp, that's it: Safari is the new IE. After all, some dude said it!"

  "Android developer talks more trash about iOS.. Film at 11." yawn

    Look, someone that had not read the articles or who is the one writing then and write the first stupidity he thought.

      I like when facts are downvoted, the author is not an Android developer and is not bashing iOS. But don't let reality break your own agenda

  This has literally no additional content beyond the original except for a little bit of "Wow I didn't expect the big response!" and a lame "It wasn't link bait!" claim. (He had to know it was sensationalist.) The original article's claim was ludicrous and this doesn't do anything to walk it back at all.

  Why can't Apple keep up? Is it because they don't want to keep up and push people to apps (ala Windows with IE)?
