I love it when people feel a story is so insignificant they simply must post to say so. 
The most insignificant stories are surely the ones that don't provoke any responses whatsoever... ?! I found the story moderately interesting, certainly more so than many other stories that received no 'is this really newsworthy' comments, I guess different people have different criteria for what is newsworthy or interesting to them. *shrugs*
Personally I love DuckDuckGo and most of the time I use it as my main search engine. I will concede sometimes I have to reach for the google, especially for specific image searches, which aren't nearly as good on DDG, I find (or I don't find, which is the problem!).
As has been said, Google give Apple a load of cash to be the default and I have no real problem with that. I would like Apple to make more noise about DuckDuckGo being an option though, and why users might like to choose that option (or not, depending what works for them and what is important to them), so accuracy and clarity is important when they do mention it.

i use duck duck go as my default. In many ways, you could easily argue that their search algorithm is not as good as google. I specifically find when searching for images that google is better. But for 90-95% of my searches, I get what I need through DDG, so I am happy with that, especially knowing I am being tracked less (because the reality is once you click on a link in DDG you go to a site that does track you).
How about speakers who introduce candidates as "the next President of the United States"? They can't all be right! #thereisonlyone
Well, it's not a little thing. They were not telling the truth in an advertisement. So they got told and they fixed it, and now they are telling the truth. That's exactly how it should happen. And not "everyone" was on their case, just someone who read it, found it was untrue, complained, and then the agency responsible for that kind of thing told them.

Did that the first time one of these "penny auction" scam sites did a TV advert in the UK, and made them disappear from TV for quite a while.
It's the only viable browser option that allows DDG search integration. Tor is for tinfoilers and Firefox is for people that still think Microsoft's Internet Explorer is the dominant browser on the market and that they need to personally do something about that.
Yeah, people can't use a different browser like Firefox because they similar like it, for whatever reason. Right.
