I'd be an anti-apple zealot if I were telling you how bad the iPad is, or how apple suck at doing things.

But I don't.

Actually, I think Apple makes good devices, but I get a bit irritate when I open up a link expecting to read some insightful analisys of the smartphone industry growth of the last decade, and instead I get some kid yelling out how the iPhone/iPad 'kick-ass', or how it 'revolutionized' the nature of the human kind.

It didn't.

Apple makes very good devices based on market trends. that's it.

You can't call me a zealot for simply disagreeing with you.



Sorry, I see your point and I kind of agree, in the sense that I find certain articles with similar fanboism annoying. (though I thought this was made a complex explanation very short and clear).

But the whole point of digg/hackernews and similar systems is that the community decides. It's democracy. If you want personalised systems, I am sure there must be alternatives out there. But you can't (easily) have both. :)


I didn't call you anything, I pointed out that it's here on this site. Do you deny that?


Point to some examples then, if you care?


Is this a serious question? You don't see any anti-Apple sentiment on this site? Nor raving Google fanboyism? I could accept that if you said you didn't see apple fanboyism either (personally, I see all 3), but if you say that you see one and not the other than I think that means you're in one of those groups.


I think the main concern is to keep non-informative fluff off the site. That includes all kind of fanboyism.


Absolutely. I'd love to see it all go. It's just unfair to call out one kind of zealotry while ignoring the others (some of which is worse IMO than the called-out one).
