I don't have much faith in WP7 becoming a major mobile platform either, but I can't say that this type of comment really contributes anything on HN

there's also no way that I can see that this can be fixed (in its current implementation)... if you somehow had a history of highly voted comments, you would need all the other comments to get context, but then some of those comments might

also... normalized for the number of iOS devices out there (vs. the # of WP7 devices), WP7 probably "won" here. (although I agree that this is sort of a non-story)

I fully agree with most of the civil liberties and health concerns I've been reading online about these "Federal Security Detectors," and it certainly is ridiculous that you have to be scanned AFTER flying and AFTER passing through customs
