Are you trying to make some vague point through sarcastic remarks? If so, I find it completely unhelpful and unconstructve. I am pretty sure internet snark is long-since outgrown by most of HN.

Feel free to add something of substance.

I find you completely unhelpful and unconstructive. I've criticized Apple and its acolytes before, but I've never accused one of being a plant. Consider the possibility that people are talking about Microsoft because the company is doing interesting things again.

And I hope I never grow out of Internet snark.
