Is Apple & Community Evangelizing Into Uncoolness?

Posted by Zonk on from the too-cool-for-school dept.

kbeischer writes "John Kheit followed up his MacObsorne article, which others have since covered minus the parts detailing a Steve Jobs uncanny ability to repeat his own mistakes, with a scathing editorial damning the most of the Mac Press, Apple's managment and parts of the user base as a bunch of deranged goose-stepping lemmings that are ignoring the costs associated with the Mac PPC to Intel switch. In the editorial, he links to an older article on BOZO (bitter obstanate zealot order) users causing market share loss. All of which makes me wonder, do evangelical users and press help or hurt the popularity of a platform?"

      What freaking retard modded parent as offtopic? lame, lame, lame.

      I personally would also like to have a Calvin pissing on 'x' (replace with various platforms/operating environments). It'd be great to see Calvin pissing on the windows symbol. Perhaps with the colors being slightly off, and cracks running through them like a broken window.
