Very cool. I changed it so that it ONLY shows iPad articles.
Was there any difference from the default hackernews view?
It’s only one third at the moment, so no big deal :)
News.YC Greasemonkey script to hide iPad articles

#22It's pretty easy to modify it to hide other types of articles too if you understand regex. At the moment it hides all articles with a title matching this: /\bi-?pad\b/i
And if there's anyone here who doesn't know regex - go and learn regex. It will take 30 minutes max and the investment in time and brain space will pay off countless times.
Yeah, and then please take a theory of computation course before attempting to parse something like HTML using regexes. :)

#23Thank you for providing this script, for all those of us too lazy to do it ourselves. :)
Now if we can have one that filters the functional programming posts, and the "I'm stupid enough to think I achieved something by cloning this trivial, yet major web service with this terribly unscalable new web tool" posts.
I'm all for the random tech news and bitching about DRM and software patents though. :)

#24The irony is this script would hide this post.

#25I debated not even reading HN for the next week, because I actually had a dream about an iPad last night. Apple, that's just crossing the line :)

#26Can you write a more general version that excludes ALL relevant and topical submissions?

#28really, guys? In less than a week it'll be back to normal. I don't understand why people are all "not in MY HACKER NEWS" - this is what people are talking about. In 3 days we'll be back to Clojure and Haskell and "rate my startup" and "I built using in ."
Some people like to put their heads in the sand and ignore things they don't like. Heck, that's why Fox News manages to maintain its entire audience share.

3 days? I think even 3 months would be an optimistic claim.
About 24 hours after the launch, only 20% of the FP items mention the iPad: http://skitch.com/petercooper/n78ty/ipadreality
If you fancy matching a wager, I'll put down $50 to a charity of your choice that 10% or fewer of the front page items on July 4, 2010 have "iPad" in the title :-)
