A few weeks ago, Ars published part one in a series called "From Win32 to Cocoa: a Windows user's conversion to Mac OS X". In this series, Peter Bright details why he believes "Windows is dying, Windows applications suck, and Microsoft is too blinkered to fix any of it". Part one dealt with the history of both Windows and the Mac OS, and part two deals with .Net, the different types of programmers, and Windows Vista.

The link in the first paragraph is to part 1, which is only mentioned as a leader. Part 2 is the main focus of the article here and is inexplicably linked in paragraph two even though there was every opportunity to link in paragraph one ("part two").
The exact same thing was done in:

Some of these do not even feature any links on the main page. It certainly seems systematic; link past coverage or past events to give context to the actual news item, but bury the link to the news item and any blurbs about that in the following paragraphs so users have to 'read more' to see what's being commented on.

I can't believe I have to ask, but could you please actually link to the article? I'm on EDGE and it required like 3 extra 45+ second pageloads to find it myself.
