We changed the URL from http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-12-16/apple-stops-online-..., which is about a side effect (Apple halting online sales), to the more general article about the story, via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8757165.

Edit: Ok, we'll change it back. Sorry for the mistake.

Great, now all the comments lost context. This is asinine. Don't modify the submissions, or titles.

It drives me crazy.

I know it's well intentioned, but this power in the hands of a few seems to do more harm than good. Why not just let the populous up/down vote things as they see fit?

I wouldn't have upvoted an article about the general ruble decline (it's not news to me). I would (and did) upvote an article Apple halting Russian sales.
