I have no problem with the donvoting my comments not so favourable for Apple in thread which attracts Apple fanboys. It is a little sad that no one of the downwoters had anything to say to correct my view. But can you elaborate a little why do you find my comment stupid? It is genuine question. edit: comment link added http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1798461 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1798461

> But can you elaborate a little why do you find my comment stupid? It is genuine question. No disrespect intended. I meant that this was a little over the top: "It looks like the game is over. The winner is Android." I upvoted you from -4 though to... well, it still shows as -4. But yeah, I don't think downvoting-to-oblivion was called for.

  Ok. I agree it can be viewed like this. The main thing for me is that there is really big change at the doors. Fundamental one.

Why your comment is stupid? Because it is stupid. Would you elaborate more about those Android tablets and netbooks? What models are there in the wild, how much do they cost, how do they sell? How are sales numbers of iPhone and iPad? Slowing down? Game is over? What game? Android is the winner? What did it won exactly? And who are the losers? Apple? They are going to announce financial results soon, I guess we will see how much did Apple "lose".

  No, I will not elaborate. But you can read my other comments in thread in question. Market for devices below Apple price point is big enough to feed many companies and software vendors. What game? Apple will not monopolise mobile computing. Phones, tablets, netbooks and other, not yet invented, products. The more solutions on the market the better for the consumer. You and me too. This not so good for software vendors beacuse of market fragementation, but the cat is out of the bag. Apple financial results are the least concern of mine. Yours too, I suppose. But Aplle financially will be fine, their marketing is outstanding.

Not sure how will you know the price points then, so far Android phones are not that much cheaper than iPhone. > What game?

Their products are outstanding too. No marketing would help if your product is crap. And Apple does not have the biggest marketing budget, by the way. MS markegint budget for Vista was as large as Apple's for all products.

Your comment was an Android Fanboy equivalent to the iPhone Fanboy posts. Some of the points are over-extended, the conclusion doesn't really match the support. It's all a 'belief' thing, which is what iPhone people do and get downvoted for as well.
