Is this really something to be angry about?
I mean, I feel anger at times. Anger at libraries being shut, poverty in the local estates, jobs being cut, growing up without a father present, that we go to war, that cycling in London is more dangerous than it need be.
But I don't get angry when <company A> does anything to <company B> for any values of A and B.
HN is not Digg or Youtube comments.
I understand you took it as an insult to your dad. But from your comment, it seems you are also angry because someone copied Apple. I really don't understand that part. I also don't understand why this is bad for anyone other than Apple.
It is bad for everybody because a) if this trend goes on there will be no "different" products anymore and everything will at some point look like it comes from Apple and b) there will be no competition at all. Competition is good for a industry. Even Apple needs some competition to get better and better.
