During the Apple event, no less. Maybe I'm very cynical, but that seems like a deliberate attempt to bury the story.
Top bar is all Apple. Zynga story is an entire page scroll down.
Not sure what you mean by "top bar", but there's a Windows 8 Review above the fold.
Also, remember that the Zynga story is "From Polygon" (Polygon is The Verge's sister gaming site), so it wouldn't be at the top regardless.
