Again, the top comment on an HN thread involving Apple is one that supports Apple by digging up some "fact" or the other that makes Apple look OK. This has always been this ridiculous. At least AAPL investors are pricing in a future loss of

What about that part where Apple basically looked at the pull-down notifications in Android and just copied it in iOS 5? Oh wait, OUR soldiers are freedom fighters, but THEIRS are despicable terrararists, right?

As an Indian, I'd like to put in a word about spirituality and "seeking" : getting trapped by the spiritual tourism hawkers is the worst way to go about it. Please do not just land up and ask, "So where is the latest and greatest ashram?".
