HN had fifty people in every thread swearing that nobody predicted the iPhone would be a success so we should all shut up and buy or else FOMO. It was constant and everywhere. Tens of posters who have apparently zero connection to the company Apple other than "They released the iPhone" as if they've never had a high profile flop, as if they've never had only okay sales of a product, as if they've never tried to change the world and failed miserably, as if Apple never misses. Because of a single damn product release. One time. At the crux of a phase change in the personal digital device world. Just, utterly divorced from reality. I feel like these posters are half of my company's management team.
