4 in Chinese culture is bad luck because it sounds like "dead." Apple's been there too this year.


So are you implying this is coincidental or do you actually believe in superstitions?


That it's coincidence, obviously. If both Apple and Digg had launched v.13 of their products, with problems, then people would be more perceptive to it. Just imparting a little bit of culture, that's all. For those that don't know (and who knows, you might find it useful some day if you launch something in China), 4 is China's 13.
