    What do the guidelines have to do with this? I'm curious why people are upvoting an ad especially when most of the comments are non-sequitors.

      Well, it's not against the guidelines, so yes it's up to the votes. And clearly it interests the readers of the site so that's why it's front page. It's a major announcement by a leading technology company. Is that not a thing that interests technology nerds?

  Big tech product announcements are arguably more in the remit of hacker news than most of the stuff on the front page.
