You've linked to an 80-word hint which you've then expanded to 232 words (that's nearly 3 times the size) without actually adding anything. Way to go, Dan :P

Added nothing? Nothing, you say? The way I see it, that's a 190% increase, for which you paid nary a cent extra. Now that's value.

You're right that the original tip was concise, but I thought it worthwhile to expand a bit on the precise steps you'd need to take to get this to work, since it might not be immediately apparent to all users.

But if it's brevity that you're looking for, I'll see if I can't get a 190% decrease in the next post. Just to keep the equilibrium.

Aww I was just poking fun. I'm actually impressed that you didn't 'misplace' my comment when you came to moderate it :)

Actually, since you asked about brevity, it raises and interesting point. I wonder if, like me, you are subscribed to a tonne of iPhone news sites in your RSS reader? Do you notice how (of course) when there is a glimmer of news, everyone leaps on it and puts their own spin on it?

I like the John Gruber way of doing things. He often just links with a line or two and lets you read the original article yourself. The problem with all this editorial is that it introduces a lot of misinformation. (I'm not accusing you of this but there's one iPhone blogger, who shall remain unnamed, who drives me nuts because everything he posts seems to have some utterly wrong fact or baseless speculation in it, posted as news).

Rant over :) What do you think?

@Si The way Gruber does things certainly works well for him; I don't know if it would work as well everywhere; the editorial spin can potentially introduce inaccuracy, it's true, but it can also give added insight that the original article didn't contain, or provide rebuttals or counter-points to arguments raised in the original.

Certainly, I think there's room for both approaches, and each has their upsides and downsides. I guess there's a part of my writer's mind which feels like maybe you guys will feel cheated if all I'm writing is a sentence with a link to another post, but perhaps I'm mistaken. ;)
