> most of HN seems to hate or deride these features (like the Live Photos thing) tells me that they'll likely be a huge success and all be using them in a year

If the fact that gifv videos are already everywhere (Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit, Vine-sorta-kinda) didn't tip you off. It seems like people are starting to think of short, usually-silent, looped videos as just what you take to preserve a moment, instead of a photo.

Indeed, yet a see a lot of hate for Live Photos here and on other places like Reddit. It's funny.

Tech-savvy crowds are often the worst arbiters of taste, certainly the worst predictors of it.

I think because they often focus on function and do not consider form as an important factor - which has proven to be wrong time and again.

Form and function are one.
