This is just ridiculous. I have already seen enough Apple fanboy bullshit on Hacker News to last a lifetime, but this crosses the threshold from "obsessive" into "seriously fucking irritating".
Agreed. I really don't like the "Silicon Valley tabloid" feel of the past few weeks. Unless it has something to do with technology or the industry, I really don't care what Steve Jobs emailed to whom or whether Mark Zuckerberg is mean or if Eric Schmidt totally gained 15 pounds.
