They did post the safari thread after you, but you do have to take into consideration that your post was a sentence, the writer's was a couple of paragraphs which takes longer to type out.
Also it's more official this way.
When you see something like this, you can also use the "Got a tip for us, Share It..." link on the front page, and get recognition for it.
unfortunately i've had the opposite problem with macrumors.
they seem to be a bit too interested in my posts.
i make a thread about some new stuff and macrumors steals it about an hour later and posts their version elsewhere on the website pretending to be the one who started it.
close attention to detail regarding times when such material was posted by both parties would reveal that the first such content on the website is due to me, not macrumors.
if they were more honest about it they would simply provide a link to my post. but alas they want to claim credit. in so doing they do their cause more harm than good when people find out they stole it from me!

Do you get more "internet points" being the first to post a new developer release of something is out?
You must be joking. You really think the first person who posts a news article is the only person to have the info, and therefore must be credited for it? It's much more likely that the one who wrote the article, while posting it after you, had no knowledge of your post. Writing about publicly available info after a forum post is made doesn't require credit for the post. Grow up.
You know, you aren't the only source of news in the world. MacRumors is a news website, what did you expect? Of course there will be news in there. These guys have to grammar correct, check sources and inspect their work before they post it.
And now you're claiming that they stole your work.
Is your life really so unfulfilling that you care that much about getting recognition on a forum for posting something first? I feel sorry for you.
