What is with Hacker News' obsession with Apple minutiae?
- thomasmallen 18y agoI know, right? It's not like they're an innovative tech company or anything.
- dmix 18y agoIt's a mix of finally finding a product that satisfies your needs perfectly with the pseudo anti-establishment that comes with it. People complaining about apple fan boys is just as cliche as the fans boys themselves, and it just fuels the fire. OSX + the great community of developers creating apps like 1password and Textmate, is what sold me. Looking back at my experience using windows for over a decade I have a lot of negative memories. At the same time I don't like 90% of Hollywood (CGI-fest) movies but it does a good enough job to satisfy most people. So I don't bother convincing people otherwise in the same way I don't push Apple on other people. I just support it when the topic comes up.

- gstar 18y agoDon't know if PG has released browser stats for HN - but my guess is that Safari and Firefox on OS X would be fairly well represented. Everyone likes news about their tools - ever seen a mechanics shop when the snap-on van pulls in?
