I don't think apple will be upset in this case though...
But the value of stock images is to use them somewhere else. Lets say I write an article negatively portraying the electronics manufacturing industry and use these images along with the article. I'm pretty sure Apple wouldn't like it if they found out...
So you took a couple of pictures (that appear to be Apple ads more than anything, as an aside)? I'm sorry if this sounds negative, but I find it completely disingenuous that you denigrate an entire industry and portray a pittance of images as the salvation. When you pay for a stock image, as an aside, a part of the value of paying is economic scarcity: That the images that you choose aren't blanketing every Wordpress…
Huh, where did he denigrate an entire industry?
Lots of hate in this thread, which I don't get. Granted, you can find a lot of free stock photos on the internet, but I find the idea of curated list of photos targeted for product landing pages valuable. This was clearly an MVP and for some reason HN audience found it valuable and voted it to the front page, but I don't see how it deserves all the negativity that is shown in many comments.

Example searches for both Google Images and Flickr. http://www.google.com/search?as_st=y&tbm=isch&hl=en&... http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=venice&l=comm&ss=0&#...
how do I even find that setting in a normal images search? I don't see it under search tools...
You get there by clicking the gear icon on the right side of the image search results page; 'Advanced search' is under that. Yay for Google making one more tool more difficult interact with.
There are millions (billions?) of stock photos in the world, and your plan is to replace all of them with 10 pictures of a MacBook Air? Even with more pictures it's unlikely you'll beat a Creative Commons search on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=&l=cc&ss=0&ct=0&...

The original title said something negative about stock photos (but I can't recall exactly what).

Our local credit union was sued by the city for using a picture of a local bridge on their debit cards. The credit union owned the rights to the photograph that was provided by a local photographer. The city owned the right to pictures of the local bridge. Vicious cycle.
How does a city "own the right to pictures of the local bridge"?

This a recurring retort. It's nonsense. A very small percentage of HNers can get something to the top of the front page (especially if it uses a title that panders to a bias, given that many people never actually click on the link). That they do in no world inoculates the target against any criticism.
