#4>>It’s a textbook Tim Cook supply-chain move: selling the last generation’s hardware at a lower price point to expand market share.
That's pretty brilliant, if true. If iPad Mini is indeed released this fall, it has the potential to sweep the floor with any other 7" tablet that has been released so far. It's going to be very interesting to watch.

Marco views are insightful because he's the creator of 'Instapaper' ~ http://www.instapaper.com/ a pretty useful x-platform tool. Your comment is a bit snarky for a 1 submission, '140' day old account ~ http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=mmanfrin

Is my number of submissions really indicative of anything? My comment was made because this was the second marco.org post I've seen today, and at least the 5th overall. That's a lot.

If HN would just put those counts next to each username (perhaps denoted by decorative badges) it would naturally reinforce the hierarchy and save honorable members of the inner party from dirtying themselves with smacking down the masses.

How does creating Instapaper make his views on a hypothetical device's internal hardware any more interesting than anyone else's?
As far as I can see, the only thing that came from Instapaper were the "2,5" and "2,6" strings - the rest of the analysis, while potentially insightful, is not related to Instapaper at all.

Normally someone's length of exposure to HN isn't particularly relevant to their contribution, but when they are making a snarky claim as to what HN is, or isn't, it's relevant.
Marco's just made a few interesting posts recently - I noticed that the people who have submitted his posts rarely do, and, there has also been a diversity of posters as well. For example, of the 300 submissions that Brajeshwar has made in close to 3 years, this is the first time he has submitted one of marco's blog posts.

In general, people who don't put effort into posting interesting submissions, don't usually have the standing to make dismissive claims about other people's submissions, particularly with backhanded snark.
