6. John McAfee better prepare to eat a shoe because he doesn’t know how iPhones work
The FBI are getting pissy because Apple are siding with the terrorists and won’t let them see what’s in one of the baddy’s phones, and here’s an article about the man behind the anti-virus software which quickly gets uninstalled from any PC I buy, in favour of the free AVG software.
However, Arstechnica are putting the ‘Ars’ in the internet with this nonsensical title. “John McAfee better prepare” should read “John McAfee should prepare”. Or perhaps they had ‘better’ come up with a more succinct headline.
7. The New Ghostbusters Trailer Is Here and Everything Looks Perfect
Capitals! Capitals! Capitals! Yes, it’s the return of every word in the headline being a capital, except for the coordinating conjunction, i.e. ‘and’, courtesy of IO9. And rather than starting the headline with the focus keyword, “Ghostbusters”, they start with two words that have nothing to do with the focus keyword and is bad for SEO.

8. Fan Edited Trailer For The New Ghostbusters Is So Much Better and Someone Recut the New Ghostbusters Trailer and Made It So Much Better
Two for the price of one, as both follow-up the Ghostbusters official trailer with a fan-made one. What did I call it on my website? “Ghostbusters (III) FanCUT Teaser Trailer HD (RECUT)” because all of that – apart from the (III), which I’ve added in because it IS film No.3 – is in the original title. But for the two headlines I’ve listed here, they’re all so loquacious, and all so much… waffle.

9. Marcel Vigneron on His New Restaurant, Ditching Molecular Gastronomy, and Why He Doesn’t Watch Top Chefon His New Restaurant, Ditching Molecular Gastronomy, and Why He Doesn’t Watch Top Chef
Do you remember the headline regarding Kanye West? Yes, this one is also in three parts, each of which are of similar disinterest. And There’s All The Capital Letters.

10. It’s snow day! Children across the country take full advantage of a day off school to go out and play in the white stuff as up to four inches of snow hits parts of Britain
And trust the Daily Mail to top the bill in having the most lengthy title of them all. But then the Daily Mail have a lot of problems. Not least in the fact that that is their editor on the right…
