i'd point out that it looks like they've been doing this for years. the economy was pre-burst when they started doing it. edit: and since then, they've gone from $1k to $2k to $3k, opposite what you'd expect since they're probably getting

this was blown way out of proportion by apple, too. they had the big, ominous message on their front page, and it wasn't that different of a cryptic message than what they usually post up for other actual product announcements.

thats fair, but this is also the purpose of the flagging. we've seen it before, with some of the stuff around election time. high-voted stuff that is was "hacker relevant" got flagged away because it wasn't topical.
