The mere fact of how soon this story got flagged off the front page proves that it is not high quality content.

  Because Engadget is such a crappy tech site now? Disgusting.

    My flag was not nearly enough and it had nothing to do with endgaged, but with thread quality.

      Just because you guys took a dump on the submit doesn't mean it deserved to be flagged. Seriously, I've never thought of HN as an immature reddit/slashdot-like place before today, and I've been on for much longer than you.

  Pity that cooldeals and recoiledsnake don't even bother showing up these days. They had quite a few examples where articles that were favorable (or heck, even non-negative) to Microsoft consistently got flagged off the front page. There's a pretty strong anti-MS voting contingent on here, and they'd call it out every time it happened. And for that they'd be accused of being, I kid you not, "Microsoft zealots"!

    I remember that one of my first interaction on this site was with recoiledsnake in fact, where he pointed towards said anti-MS nature of this site. Today, I have been accused of being a shill 3 times. I totally feel how it must have been for those guys. I can totally accuse them of being apple or google PR people, without any credible evidence, it seems.

  It was high quality content. It didn't get removed from the front page because of the content of the story. Rather, because of comments like yours. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6596311 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6596311 > I always find it funny when new members of a community assail veterans with accusations of eternal September type of behaviour. You new people and your eternal September behavior...
