What's with all the buzzfeed-level headlines making HN frontpage the past few days?
Not to say this isn't a useful list (for OSX users that is), but I can't possibly be the only one weirded out by this.

This is most likely random fluctuation a.k.a. sample bias, but if you know of any that didn't get corrected, please email them to us at hn@ycombinator.com so we can figure out why.
People post such titles all the time but we change them systematically. For example, we changed this one shortly after your comment. Normally we'd have replied to your comment then; probably the moderator didn't see it.
Users not in North American time zones do see more baity titles, though. We cover as broad a span of hours as we can, but it isn't 24.
I think it's sample bias as well, just struck me because I rarely ever saw it before. Probably because they all get corrected very quickly.
