Again. So. Much. ANGER.

RAAAAAGGGGGEEEE!!!!!!!

Addressing your last paragraph:

But why am I arguing with you? You've made it perfectly clear that you don't feel that I'm welcome here. You'd rather live in an Apple bubble, pretending that everything they do is better than everything the competition is doing. The world would be better if Apple was the only corporation on the planet, right?

Please point me to the part of my comment where I said any of these things. I haven't voted or commented on ANY other Apple-related articles on this site. Seriously, check my history. I made no comment about Apple at all. My only comments have been me laughing at how angry / emotional you sound.

By pointing me to other sites, you're both making the impression that the news I care about doesn't belong here and implying that I'm not wanted.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I simply looked on the front page of HN, and didn't see any Microsoft / Nokia-related articles. So I went out and found some on another site. I can't control what is on the front page of HN. All I can do is search for alternatives. There are a lot of things that I am interested in that I rarely see on HN myself. Instead of feeling like the HN community has personally attacked me, I just browse a variety of sites.
