What is the point of this article other then to snark on Microsoft? This is an Apple-centric news site. Leave the subtle commentary to someone else. Almost as bad a Daring Fireball spending all day shitting on Amazon's Q2 earnings and comparing it…

Could of been a glitch, could of been a very quiet rollback of a hasty decision and someone thought better of it. Either way it seems to be in flux throughout the system and not yet entirely sorted out. Either way, if just a glitch, it was …

Yeah, I wasn't an obsessive follower, but most of the anecdotes were pretty well known and the few juicy nuggets were out before the book hit shelves. Was about as hard to navigate the internet away from the "spoilers" then trying to avoid the endin…
