Apple kept saying that; "this is the biggest leap forward"... how so? It's thinner, like it is every year. It's got this year's processor in it, which it does every year. It's got a higher resolution screen, like it does ever year. It's an incremental update, not a new product. It's the same upgrade as last year's upgrade.
There's news I care about: I care about the new Nokia devices. That's relevant to me and plenty of others, considering the number of votes and comments the articles had. That's actually new stuff. Yet they got removed from HN because they got flagged.
Check out my comment that I posted hours before the Apple announcement:
" I think the announcement of new phones and tablets in new form factors with new apps and an upcoming software update from Nokia would be relevant, moreso than a slightly thinner iPad with the same internals and software as the already released iPhone 5s, which will undoubtedly be filling the front page later today."
Prescient, huh? Looks like I can see the future. But what I can't see is the articles that are relevant to my interests, because for some reason anything Microsoft related gets instantly removed from the front page, unless it's bad news. Whether or not you think this is a problem, it's actually a pretty big fucking problem.
