Maybe it's because I'm new, but how do you vote down a story in HN, will I get that privilege with karma increase?

I recommend you read the unofficial FAQ [1] and the official guidelines [2]. In short, you can't downvote a story but you can "flag" it, which penalizes by pushing it down the page. You can downvote comments if you have atleast 500 karma.

You can flag it but I don't think that should be used like a down vote would. It's more of a way to get rid of articles that don't belong on HackerNews. I don't see any reason to 'downvote' or flag this article though. I'm just getting started with Android dev and it seemed useful.

There has been one, and one time only, that I have flagged a story. It was unsubstantiated rumor-mongering with serious allegations, written by someone who has been known to lie in the past (about things as serious as having cancer), and it was an indirect link to try and get around the previous times the story had been posted and removed because of flagging.

Maybe it's because I'm curious and open-minded, but could you describe why this story should be down-voted?

Little substance is found in Top N lists. I would much rather have the author cover one library and explain how it has benefited his development process. What roadblocks did using xyz library overcome? What issues were found along the way? It is like providing a list of simplex algorithms. This is a simplex algorithm using divide and conquer, brute force, blah.

200 words on one library provides more insight than 'XYZ Library: A library that does XYZ for people that do XYZ.'

Lists rarely spark insight, but knowing that Bob overcame a barrier with Canvas by utilizing XYZ library, that's gold. Hell, I might even use XYZ to try to attack a similar problem.
