Sorry for harming your eyes, we just updated the site!

Oops, did you change the link to point directly to the iTunes Store page? Anyway, that's much less aggressive than a screenful of that creative blue. I would have loved it in small doses in the right places, but it was just too much.

It's just blue, what's the problem?

No problem — if you look at nothing than a massive wall of THAT blue all day.

It looks fine on a wide-gamut monitor... Eye piercing on my Cinema Display.

Someone just down-voted me for reporting an experience. That's really encouraging and serves to create an environment conducive to discussions. If you happen to have the right opinion.

In business and in life, it's useful to have a meta process going in your head about the level of the conversation.

You were probably down-voted because people feel that what they did dwarfs the color they chose for their background.

You're kinda hating on something that doesn't matter. :)

Actually, tempodox is entitled to his/her opinion. Just because some people think it's a minor issue, doesn't mean you should downvote it.

IMO this is one of the main problems with HN.

Right, that should be the whole point. Why would I post the same opinion everyone else has? Apart from a nice circle jerk, that would serve no purpose. The whole point of my post is that it differs from any other and offers a yet unseen perspective, whether you like that perspective or not.
