If there is a question mark in the headline one can almost certainly answer: "no!"

Gawker, Gizmodo, etc...

They like to make 'click-bait' article titles when they have absolutely nothing to say about the topic at hand. I've never run into a larger collection of mouth-breathing idiots, fervent in their desire to be posting 'first' about something, instead of stepping back, getting some perspective or research done - then posting.

I avoid their tangled hype-web at all costs.
