25 years and computers still don't boot any faster. A 8MHz 128k Mac would boot in about 20 seconds. Now computers are clocked about 500 times faster and it takes 10 times longer.

But of course, you will have tons of new pseudoprogrammers telling you that "optimization is the root of evil" or some other crap they take for granted because they heard it said from some authority.
I've seen a trailer for this thing previously, and I am amazed. Macintosh users have their heads stuck up their own asses so far they can lick the back side of their tonsils. It's one thing to behave like an elitist jerk with your striped tight clothes, thick-rimmed glasses, writing on your Web 2.0 blog about geopolitics while you sip a coffee at a local Starbucks and flipping the pages of a book written in French, but to make a documentary about how much of a pretentious fanboy you are - I think only Mac users can do that. Congratulations, Apple, iHateYou.
Also, this will be modded "troll" because I used a politically incorrect word, and, what's worse, presented an un-hip opinion.
but past that it's not a serious experience, and shouldn't be treated as one.
I think you forgot that most people on the Internet (read, people who buzzwords and websites with domains ending with "r" appeal to (also massive idiots)) treat everything on the Internet very seriously. That's why it's filled with drama, and "social networking sites" (a stunning oxymoron, watch The I.T. Crowd for a brilliant parody) are only adding fuel to the fire.
It's the Age of Buzzwords! I must remember to make my cloud of software as a service LAMP green servers offer RSS compatible with streaming social touch computing new media podcast paradigm on our Web 2.0 AJAX on Ruby on Rails on Toast dynamic peer-to-peer application.
