What drama are you talking about? I see no drama at all. There's a bit of marketing copy for a product description, but it's hardly calling it innovative or life changing - it just explains what it can be used for. And if you're referring to the fact that a dock was submitted to HN at all, it's somewhat interesting because Apple hasn't produced docks for a while, and people on HN might be interested.

This isn't showing off Apple's engineering or innovative genius or whatever, it's just a courtesy to the Apple customers of HN: here's a new product, you might want it.
