Why was this banned?

Sprint didn't like something I guess.

"UPDATE: We were asked by Jake to remove the article as it was published. We complied with his request as we are not the type of people to put others into sticky situations over a tech blog. Jake advised that he would work with us down the road, but as of right now, the original article has been retracted. We hope you guys understand and appreciate our compliance" http://androidguys.com/2008/07/14/talking-android-with-sprin...

As I read it I thought it was just a fake, as he wasn't adding anything which was not already known.

His email address was finally the point where I thought - well why didn't he provide his offically Sprint/Nextel address: jorion@kc.rr.com

If you have questions write to: danielh@android.google.fake.cn

Yeah, he's really vague in answering questions, and didn't say anything of substance throughout the whole article. I can't figure out what Sprint didn't like about it.

"Is there anything that people don’t know about Android in general?

People seem to have the right idea, but here are three matters to set our expectations: (1) Android has stiff, astute competition that is reacting to its plan (2) Android isn’t providing unknown magic other OSes are quantum leaps behind on. In many cases their competition is ahead. (3) Android’s strength as an internet-centric device is wildly exciting, however, mobile devices that render the internet experience like that of a desktop are going to be higher-end devices for the foreseeable future (5+ years). This is due to a myriad of technical and business reasons."

The link posted points to http://72.14.20.104/... but here on news.ycombinator.com I see the title "Banned Interview With Sprint’s Android Manager (104.205.14.72)"

The IP is "inverted" for some reason. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
