I have to ask: Are there voting blocks on HN?
As usual, the information inside of the extremetech article is a POS when compared to the linkbait headline. So looking at the submitter, I see exactly one comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Libertatea http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Libertatea
From that one comment, I'd take a guess that Libertea is not a native english speaker (or at least, speller.) So then you take a look at the other submissions, and they're pretty generic: http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=Libertatea http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=Libertatea
So maybe the poster, who has been on HN for all of 39 days, chose an article of penetrating insight as reported by extremetech, but it sure smells fishy.
