Is this thread being astroturfed? So many lo-karma/zero-karma commenters.

I thought so too, but habosa may have a point. There was another (badly written) TechCrunch piece about a startup from where I'm from (in the US, so probably all native speakers) and there were a lot of well-wishing, hiphiphooray comments.
You actually went and checked? :)
A lot of the comments look like Yelp reviews from the cousins of a pizza shop owner.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the team is Slovenian, and we're quite proud of what these guys have achieved, and if we can help in any way, we do.
Hate to be skeptical but I agree, the comments here are way too short and positive compared to what HN normally has to say about X or Y startup.
