Ditto. I'm kinda fed up of people focusing on websites when the story is clearly about a cool new phone with an advanced display.

If folks would spend a few seconds ignoring the site and thinking about the product they might enjoy themselves a bit more. By all means critique the site but don't let that be your only contribution.

True, this is a cool technology that deserves discussion, but if the presentation gets in the way of people even understanding or seeing (note all of the people who didn't know they could scroll and closed out the window) the cool new technology, then something is definitely wrong. Imagine when less tech savvy users open the site, they definitely aren't going to scroll. About the tech, I'm not so sure the required act of flipping your phone around to the right side to view a message is a great implementation, as opposed to a normal screen lighting up for a few seconds. It seems like it could become a hassle for users.

yes I agree and I think its ok if few people points that there is an issue with the presentation. Right now there are 2 screens full of comments about this issue.

I try very hard to overlook stuff like this in my own comments, but in this case it's so distracting. I agree that the culture here is a bit too strongly biased toward giving this kind of feedback, but as someone who's been on the receiving end of it, and as someone who's a complete design idiot and always looking to others mistakes as examples of what not to do, I find it incredibly valuable.

I'd like to see the volume knob adjusted down just a tad, but not so much that I can't hear that sweet, sweet music. ;-)

The problem is that I'd like to read what they want to sell without having to check the HN comments.
