no, see the 3rd submission about cloud computing, it has a different title than the article.

it's most likely a person at infoworld which gets the list of infoworld articles in his/her inbox everyday at 9am, and then submits them dutifully one by one to HN

The HN submission title is the tag line of the article, just below the headline.

I would imagine a script that randomly chooses at low probability to post here with the tag line instead of the main heading. You know, just to mix it up so that we don't suspect it's a bot.

If they were actively trying to pass a turing test, the least they could do is space out the submissions and throw in something that not from infoworld every now and then.

Having a handful posted all at once to the same domain at the same time each day is kind of flagrant.
