I'm not sure what the downvoting is for. There are verifiably a bunch of people on HN, granted probably a vocal minority, who slag Google off for a variety of reasons (plenty valid, no doubt). The author of the article doesn't mention Google, but that's not what my comment was about: it was a (very mild) observation that there are some people, and I'm sure by no means the majority nor anywhere close, who will neg on Google and their tech, because they don't like Google.
