Wow, scrolling down from that article was a hilarious reminder how much more cogent HN comments tend to be than any other comments on the interwebs. "Grrr! USPTO is mean to Apple! How dare they! I'm mad!" Etc.

Really? It seems like the entire internet is anti-patents, even apple fans.

I don't think HN or the Internet is anti-patents, but anti-stupid patents and anti-patent trolls.

HN comments about patents also tend to be laughably simplistic... just at the other end of the spectrum.
