What drama are you talking about? I see no drama at all. There's a bit of marketing copy for a product description, but it's hardly calling it innovative or life changing - it just explains what it can be used for. And if you're referring to the fact that a dock was submitted to HN at all, it's somewhat interesting because Apple hasn't produced docks for a while, and people on HN might be interested.
This isn't showing off Apple's engineering or innovative genius or whatever, it's just a courtesy to the Apple customers of HN: here's a new product, you might want it.
- gumby 11y agoSorry; I didn't mean drama on HN specifically but rather that Apple's pedestrian development is typically received with the same over-the-top accolades that their cool technical development receive (which frankly serves to devalue the technical advancement IMHO). And really, it's hard to find something more pedestrian than a dock, yet there have been about a dozen articles in my RSS feeds. Admittedly they do quite a bit of advanced stuff that's over most of the press's heads (look at the security architecture that protects your fingerprints, or the implementations of their recent CPUs) so I shouldn't complain.
