I don't understand the downvotes, as usual. I wish it was mandatory to write a reason every time you donwvote someone.

They don't seem to be related.

Because it's something he can easily google and contributes nothing to the discussion.

They probably think I am trolling or off-topic. Here you can’t do either. I don’t mind getting downvoted. It’s only an online thing. But thanks for the reply though, totally appreicate it.

You are off-topic, but I downvoted your comment for being lazy. HN isn’t your mobile operating system’s virtual assistant.

That's not really the way it is. It is possible for something like this (these two being related) to not appear on wikipedia, and it is also possible the commenter is not able to come up with something interesting on google (maybe he suspects he's not using the correct search terms).

Well, then, just like Stack Overflow or anywhere else, tell us what you tried. Otherwise, just like Stack Overflow or anywhere else, prepare to be mocked and ridiculed. Because not only am I not a virtual assistant, I’m not psychic, either.

But did I ask you specifically to answer that question? No. So you are not obligated to answer. So perhaps you shouldn't accuse me for making you into a virtual assistant. But you do have the right to downvote.
