I'm not sure if this story is reliable, but if it is, will HN users come down as hard on Google as it always does on Apple for being "draconian" and "anti-competitive"?

Perhaps people are tired of hearing the "HN is full of Apple haters" shit.

Its true for the most part, everyone here likes to think they are different from a community like Reddit or 4chan, but thats not really the case. If this had Apple in the headline instead of Google then im sure there would be a lot more heavily biased comments ready to jump to all sorts of conclusions with out anything resembling proof. This lot are just as biased as most of the die hard Apple haters from those communities. You know what im tired of hearing, is comments like "Apple never innovates", "Apple is due a fall" ..etc Oh and my favorite one is "The patent system needs reform" but thats all we ever hear from this community. Oh well, deal with it and move on I guess.

I'm with you. But what about being tired of the "I hate Apple" shit?

I'd almost be for a total ban on anything that mentions "Apple" or "Android" from HN. I'll bet the site would improve 10-fold with no loss of useful info.
