It’s OK. I’m a hater, I’m allowed to spew FUD, even when it is, in fact, reality!

Hi Puget.

I'm not going to enter into this technical discussion, interesting though it is. Overall, I suspect your technical assessment may be on or close to the mark. No argument there.

This is a comment about the thread itself, and your purpose in posting certain of your comments. Just for the record, Puget, because you know perfectly well this is true:

Your taunts like the above are called "BAIT".

They have no place on a civil thread intended to discuss the facts of the news.

It's obviously and completely an Apple thread.

You set your bait out and some Apple folks took it.

Are you proud of yourself? (That's a rhetorical question, no need to answer.)

Comments like yours above poison the FR tech threads, and are unnecessary, IMO. Under other circumstances, they might be seen as a form of self-deprecating humor, but in these circumstances, it's bait. You know exactly what I'm talking about.

I suggest that you set a better example and encourage other posters (such as driftdiver and bunnyslippers) to stop fighting and talk about the technical pros and cons, like the first few comments, and your comment #32, which is fascinating. There's plenty to talk about there, without getting into your personal obsession with old attacks to or from Apple fans. You can set the tone with a clear, adult example, instead of a juvenile one.

Unfortunately, the thread has already deteriorated to the point where it'll turn my stomach to participate much, and I've gotta get work done today anyway, so I'm off until this evening.

Please, all, stop the food-fight, and try to pull the thread back into a more appropriate discussion relating to the topic.

Thanks.
