Hi Swordmaker,

Let's see if this one stays up :-)

Now take this kindly, it's meant kindly. But this is one of those threads that ought to be marked as "Apple Caucus", because it's really only for the faithful. The author is a lifelong Apple/Mac fanatic, and nobody in their right mind is going to expect an unbiased tech article -- it's an opinion piece, after all.

Same as if I pinged to the Windows Ping List with an article written by a lifelong Windows fanatic, extolling Windows' virtues and decrying how people and the press tear down the magnificence that is Microsoft's flagship operating system. Opinions are, after all, personal viewpoints. And like buttholes, everybody's got one.

I've been thinking for a while we ought to have a "caucus" label for the selected Apple/Mac, Microsoft/Windows, and Google/Android threads that are really intended for reading and commenting by the faithful of each given group.

I hope this doesn't offend -- it's meant as an honest suggestion, food for thought, in hope of reducing the food fights. ;-)

I know his background, but he is a well known reviewer and writer in technology.

Frankly, I doubt it would have an effect. . .
