Why is it that some of the most redundant or overstated complaints get front page mention on news sites? Whatever happened to posting real news, interesting articles and important events which will impact the future, these days it seems anyone with something to complain about makes it to a front page somewhere while all the interesting news goes days without being noticed. If the technologies got enough mention to be deemed hype then at least it means someone cared about them, not like this article which just by being mentioned on OSNews aught to make it on that list somewhere.Īs everyone can see, we can all complain. The site doesn’t clearly imply that it’s opinion either: the title “Top 10 Overhyped Stories of 2005” sounds like it’s an official majority opinion instead of one person’s undesired griping. 99.9% of us aught to have better things to do than read someone’s grievences on legitimate news, no matter how hyped. I think it would be more accurate the call the author of that article a windbag.
