Edit: Here are similar stories from PC Magazine and Mashable, which was apparently the original source of all of these articles:

Sorry for the pedantry.


No problem, I love pedantry - except when I'm at the business end of it. :)

Interestingly enough:

"how does this jive with" - About 257,000 results

"how does this jibe with" - About 234,000 results

"how does this gibe with" - About 6,490 results


Perhaps it means Charles Elachi didn't read the articles you linked to, which could indicate he's not really in the loop.
