The Psychology of Fanboys

Testiiiiing writes "CoolTechZone.com's Gundeep Hora publishes his thoughts on why fanboys act the way they do. 'For fanboys (and I use the term with utmost respect, at least for this article), their appetite to support their favorite company to beat the big, bad corporate heavyweights gets delusional at times. And why not? After all, we all like to cheer the underdog... reasonably. In addition to cheering for the little guy, fanboys also think it's their responsibility to spread the word about their favorite company. Combine their need to do marketing on behalf of their adopted companies and their products with the passion to make others see things their way, and you have a powerful group of people.'"

When it comes to the discussions on apple.slashdot.com you are better off just disregarding them entirely. That is the position I have come to, apple fanboys are the one scenario where the slashdot moderation system fails at. They are far too fanatical, and in too great of numbers. The funny thing is that they almost all are saying the same thing, ahh the benefits of a reality distortion field. I hear apple has the new improved iRDF on sale for $399, but its in black now!
