X to release Y competitor

Sigh. First it was the Apple TV. Then it became smartwatches. Now we’re moving on to Google Glass competitors. People, this is all bullshit. Made-up nonsense to get hits. Headlines like ‘X to release Y competitor’ score a double whammy; X blogs will get excited about it, Y blogs will complain about X being a copycat. So, with one made-up story you score double the amount of hits. It’s a variant on the old but now rarely used ‘X to release Y killer’, where ‘Y’ was usually an Apple product.
