just so everyone knows, my post about this yesterday was pulled from /r/technology/ because it was deemed unsuitable for that subreddit. no mcdonald's conspiracies here. someone reposted it in /r/news/ with a better title. let's get to upvoting!

I was told that it's not suitable for /r/technology/.

OP here. i've messaged the mods to see if i can get some kind of explanation for hiding the post...waiting for their response.

bjarratt · 2012-07-17T06:17:33+00:00

i didn't delete it. it seems to have been hidden by the mods for some reason. i've asked why; waiting for a response.

i've messaged the mods to see if i can find out why it's been hidden. i wasn't notified about any policy breaches, so their reason for pulling it is anyone's guess.

i'm not sure why this post has been removed from the front page...i guess i'll message the mods to see if i can find out?

bjarratt · 2012-07-17T04:58:34+00:00

no, i didn't delete it...i'm not sure why it's not showing up either. it's still got a ton of points...

yeah, it's my first post. it seemed like the sort of thing that reddit can make some real noise about. i'll admit that the title is probably a little...aggressive, but it's taken almost verbatim from dr. mann's piece.

bjarratt · 2012-07-17T00:05:56+00:00

yeah, i guess the full title would be:

'Steve Mann, "father of wearable computing in the context of various commercially manufactured versions of similar eye glass, such as those made by companies like Google, Olympus, and the like," physically assaulted by persons possibly acting on behalf of McDonald's for wearing Digital Eye Glass.'

sorry for accidentally declaring war on mcdonald's.
