Oh wow! I made this last night just for fun. It's going a bit nuts the last hour. I have just upgraded hosting, so it should be live and well!

Have you used Varnish before? Should solve your problem almost instantly.

Someone claiming to be the site's creator is replying to these comments, but for some reason his (pretty new) account is dead, so nobody can see his comments unless they have showdead on :\

Jony Ive is a great designer. I admire the work he has done, I have 2 macbook pros sitting on my desk right now next to the iPhone 6+ I own. Now that I have established my "apple credentials", I ABSOLUTELY HATE the apple propaganda videos describing their products with his voice. It may have played 5-10 years ago, but now I just think its pompous and superficial. Of course its just my opinion, but I really wish apple would revamp their whole showcase format. It really turns me off to hear things like "This is the most advanced iDevice we have ever produced, it truly is an amazing, magical device". Shit, it better be, you spent the year iterating on it!!!

I have never used Hacker News before hence only just creating an account. My twitter handle is @dylankbuckley - Same as one on site obviously :)

I don't know anything about audio engineering but is it possible to remove, or at least tone down, the background music in these? It really prevents me from making product videos with them :)

I completely agree with you. I like their technical explanations at times and other times they just feel so contrived and forced.
