It is sad that so many need to piss on competitors because they are fanboys of something else.

Not really. The Register, and Richard Speed in particular, piss on everybody. They malign Apple, Microsoft, Linux, and anything else they come across, with a surprisingly even hand. I have yet to see anyone successfully convict them of fanboyism of any flavor.

That's one reason I post Reg articles -- they're nobody's b!tch, and the snarky sarcasm is its own reward when I'm tired of drowning in the smarmy fanboy drippings of the other tech publications.

That's just the general style of the Register. Read any of their articles. They are pretty much all like that.
