> If you were around here back then, you'd know that it was pretty common for anti-Apple things to get down-voted quickly on HN. Because most were trite-BS? Like the same advice market pundits used to give Apple that in hindsight was always wrong, like that "Zune will crash them", or they "need to make a netbook NOW" (in 2010), "stuff is overpriced" etc etc. Heck, people were even championing the Dell Ditty in forums... Now, if you have something serious to say about Apple, e.g regarding their technology, or the consequences of having a walled garden approach (and say it without assuming that everybody in a discussion "ought" to be against a walled garden approach), then I don't think there would be a problem. We have had serious discussions critisizing Apple in HN for ages.
