Why is this still on Slashdot in this way? (Score 1)

Shortly after this was first posted it became clear that there's no story here. The original proposition is just a misunderstanding. Yet, here we are 4 days later and the story still appears under an inflammatory headline accusing Apple of systematic deceit of its partners, Microsoft style. It will be quoted by all sorts of "analysts" as dishonest FUD. Slashdot must know this and should have corrected the silly headline at the very least. Failing to do so creates the impression that Slashdot will publish any old nonsense if it drives up the clicks. That devalues Slashdot a lot.
