and to illustrate my point, HN post, a mere 12 days ago:

Apple's Windows 95 problem. http://blog.raavel.com/2013/09/11/apple-problem/

"Apple recently unveiled its new iPhone 5s and 5c models, to a collective “meh”. The stock sold off and is poised to continue moving lower. The market is telling Apple that it is not innovative enough and that its need to do much more, and within that lies the crux of Apple’s problem."

But yeah, a lot of comments, falling over each other in their collective agreement. will that same random blog now turn 180 and consider it's failure?
