First Engadget has to disable comments on its uber-popular site as things went beyond flamewar and reached nuclear holocaust levels. Then Gizmodo published this obnoxious piece which has similarly escalated comment wars to new levels.
It does seem that we've reached a new level of platform fascism where its impossible to countenance someone holding an alternate opinion. Johnson's piece at Gizmodo hides some good, relevant points but its couched in such unpleasant terms and headlined in such an overtly confrontational manner that these get lost within.
Apple, Microsoft, Linux... who cares? Be interesting, challenging and maybe even fun. Aggression and intolerance will guarantee I'm no longer a reader...
