    The project is cool, but I am even more annoyed with articles that tell me what I think or want than I am with articles that used words like SLAMMED to make a mountain out of a molehill.

    There are so many better ways to write that headline with the same sentiment. For example: “An open source mirrorless camera is going to be a big hit.”

    My immediate, visceral reaction to that headline was, “no I wouldn’t” before I even opened it. I opened it anyway because it sounded cool, but don’t tell me what I would want to use.
