You know, people who write headlines really ought to be expected to read the articles they are talking about
Take the recent poorly worded Apple snub stings Mozilla headline.
If you read the article, there is one person (Jamie Zawinski) who said that Apple was bad mouthing between the lines of their email about their choice of KHTML over Gecko.
There is another person (Mike Shaver) who said (paraphrased) “Yeah, you know what, they went a different way, and if I was in their shoes, I might have gone another way too.”
A third person (Mitchell Baker) offered a prepared statement that talked about Gecko’s cross-browser focus.
I guess “Apple’s choice gains mixed reviews” wouldn’t have been a catchy enough headline, although it would have been truer to the story.

If Apple had chosen Gecko would c|net have reported “Apple snub stings KHTML?”
I don’t know if you read the Jamie Zawinski post the article linked to, but it amounted to nothing more than sour grapes. After all, that is where whine comes from…
