"I am widely admired at work for my ability to have many, many browser tabs open. (That, at least, is what I take from the frequent shouts of "holy cow, man, look at your browser!"

You might consider that maybe they're very politely saying "Man, that's insane". Would you leave 150 books open on one table, or maybe use bookmarks instead? I guess the table might work, but it seems like lots of clutter. Everyone's mileage varies.

I believe that's the joke.

I wanted to think that, but the article (though interesting) seems to be written by somebody quite impressed by themself. I may be biased, though, because most of the (few) people I've known to have so many tabs open seem that way to me. The ones I know not only have so many tabs open, but they really like it when people notice the great number.
