Not quite on topic, but I can't help noticing the overused word "quietly" in the title of the story:

(This is a rare case where the word might be appropriate, though!)
Yes, quietly means "without making noise". I don't know why geekwire is so breathless about using English language properly.
I went searching to see if someone had written about the phenomenon last year, but eventually concluded I was probably mad. Thanks!
