I'm assuming, based on your handle here, that you wrote the original piece as well as submitted it to HN. Was the point of the article to provide some obligatory context for the (quite well executed) collage of Steve Jobs? I ask because yet another "apple users are idiots" article doesn't add to the conversation in any meaningful way. You have not covered any new ground, or provided any new insights.
If the body of the article was an excuse for the image, I would actually rather learn about how you created it. Let me again say, "Well done!" and encourage you to write about the process and technology involved in creating the image.
If you intend for the article to stand on its own, may I suggest citing sources other than yourself, or making firmer points that I can either agree with or push back against? Arguing that Apple treats its users like idiots is such an overly broad and subjective statement that a single counter-example negates its strength. Citing yourself does not strengthen your argument, it only emphasizes the force of your opinion.
You are, of course, free to state your opinions as loudly and forcefully as you care to, but if those opinions do not encourage conversation then you will only attract people who already share your opinion, and repel those who don't.
- fierarul 16y agoI agree, I now care much more about how was that image generated. The article itself wasn't worth the time.

The article itself is garbage.
