Can someone explain to me why Marco Arment's opinion is so important? I mean it even seems like he doesn't understand why. What makes him so popular?

  He consistently writes positively about and supports Apple and consistently poo poos Android. It doesn't hurt that many sites that favor Android in such a consistent and highly biased way are instakilled when submitted here. He's not quite the shill that Gruber is, but it all adds up that he's popular on HN.

    Speaking of instakilled, this went from #1 to #41 in a matter of minutes.

      Get back to me when you can explain why the "Android is Better" link was on the page for practically a split second the other day, despite people commenting on it after it disappeared off the front page. There's far too much fanboyism going on here, on both sides.
