Say what you want about AllThingsDigital but I find it ridiculous that a TechCrunch post offering a summary of the situation is linked to and commented on to when it doesn't offer any further detail or incite that cannot already be gleaned from the existing post and thread about the matter.

And only one typo in the title, which, if you curve it with other TechCrunch writers is still A+.
