[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4244346, member: 26737"] The headlines are normally not written by the author of the article unless you're looking at content from a really small operation. It usually comes from an editor, and is designed to hook you into reading the article. If the tech journalists that I read/watch/listen to are any indication, the article's author is probably as cheesed about the headline as you are. I was listening to a podcast this week where one of the hosts (an engineer and programmer who used to write a column in one of the big tech trade press magazines) was talking about one of the headlines an editor slapped on his column. He said it had absolutely nothing to do with the content of the article, but the editor had written it to draw in readers. And he hasn't written that column in decades... [/QUOTE]
