Thanks Nokia PR team.
- iamshs 13y agoUncalled for, I just wanted to know more about the tablet and posted that here for others. I do not take kindly to your disparaging remark.
- Toshio 13y agoI'll take your word for it. But you have to be careful with your enthusiasm, because microsoft and satellites are known for their aggressive astroturfing, and you might sound like a paid shill.
- iamshs 13y ago"microsoft and satellites are known for their aggressive astroturfing" "paid shill" Slashdot beginnings on HN.
- JanezStupar 13y agoI always find it funny when new members of a community assail veterans with accusations of eternal September type of behaviour.

- throwawaykf 13y agoBecause the date on the account tells you how long somebody's been lurking, or if they had previous accounts. I have been lurking here since about 2 years before you created your account (see what I did there?), and while comparisons with Reddit may have been misplaced, comparisons with Slashdot look more and more apt to me.
- JanezStupar 13y agoThen you shoud take care to not make your posts look like a blatant astroturf. What I mean is that you have wasted a whole display worth of real estate that could be used for meaningful conversation, while the data you provided could be accessed by a simple click to a single link, or by executing a simple google query. This is not your average forum, we aspire to higher standards.
- iamshs 13y agoI am not accountable to you. People liked it, they voted it. You do not like the comment and the tablet, hence are throwing blatant allegation of astroturfing. I am just a simple engineer trying to make a living from engineering surfaces. I come on HN because I like some tech, and have used it extensively. But wow you are just throwing allegation that I am being on payroll of either Nokia or MS, just vicious man. I do not need to tone down my language to appease you. "This is not your average forum, we aspire to higher standards." higher standards? Like you throwing accusations? Yeah, because you collectively represent HN. There are posters which post high quality content making it a good forum. But making yourself out as a torch-bearer of some sort while on the same time passing caustic remarks.
- JanezStupar 13y agoThe mere fact of how soon this story got flagged off the front page proves that it is not high quality content.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoBecause Engadget is such a crappy tech site now? Disgusting.
- JanezStupar 13y agoMy flag was not nearly enough and it had nothing to do with endgaged, but with thread quality.
- devx 13y agoI don't usually post comments like that, but I thought yours deserved it. I've never seen a whole list of specs like that being copy pasted on HN. It just comes off as a desperate attempt to promote a product. The specs were already in the linked article for crying out loud...
- iamshs 13y agoYou are the one crying out loud here, and massively. Also does this mean, toshio, janezstupar and you are on either Apple or Google's PR team. The list was not copied in the original comment, I was looking for videos, but could not get a hands-on, hence posted nokia youtube videos and the spec list. I left the computer, and when came back to see it, could not edit the spec list out.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoYour comment on content was spot on, but you get douche bag points for accusing someone of being a shill without any kind of evidence. This isn't reddit.
