It's true. This is not a community where people are expected to objective and fair, some of them have very strong biases towards Apple and some of those people happen to be more equal than others around here.
For instance I had myself banned once because I said something irreverent about his holiness Steve Jobs. It's ok, I don't need the karma since at any given time I only happen to find an average of 2 interesting articles on the HN front page, the rest being more or less the same recycled crappy themes ("why you should(n't) do <<insert latest hype/cliche/truism>>", "<<insert generic statement>>... and that's ok", "why I <<insert action at past tense>> <<insert retarded product name>>", "... javascript framework ... " and so on). Only leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
