What is Digg?34 Comments
- itchyfeet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3When did digg users develop such a huge sense of goddamn righteous indiggnation? As someone said, it's social-based. Build a frigging bridge and get over it. If you don't like it, don't read it. Nothing to see here, move along..

Growing? Apple's been around for almost 30 years and secured their place in pop culture about 25 years ago. - Diggnified, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'll take linux for $200 Alex :)
- rocjoe71, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Contestant: I'll take "Fanboys" for $100, Alex.
Alex: "Mac, Mac, Mac... Mac, Mac, iPod"
Contestant: (Beep) What noise does a Fanboy make?
Alex: Correct!
Contestant: I'll take "Fanboys" for $200, Alex.
Alex: The mental condition is manifest by the inability to grasp any technology more complex than a VCR, often exhibited in Fanboys.
Contestant: (beep) What is "technophobia"?
Alex: Correct!
Contestant: I'll take "Fanboys" for $400, Alex.
Alex: If Apple made a guitar, how many strings would it have?
Contestant: (beep) "One, but nobody would be impressed that you could learn to play a single-stringed guitar".
Alex: Ooo! Sorry, the answer was correct but you forgot to phrase it in the form of a question. - orangetiki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm only digging to piss off the anti fanboys
- SamLachance, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0who gives a *****
- deepsub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I like apple as much as the next guy...actually im lying, I dont like apple that much except for Final Cut Pro. But this is just lame."
If you hate Apple, why do read posts about them? - pbjorge12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So...Now Apple is a little bit above Leeeeroy Jenkins!
- BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0OHH. I get it...
"Quick"time... -.- - sexypixels, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0diggin the crap out of it
- BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"-A “speedy” product that works on the Mac or PC: What is QuickTime?"
?!??! - terafunker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I saw this. Hardly any of the contestants got the questions. In fact, that doesn't surprise me, because you either have to own a mac are be very patient with a friend who talks about their's a lot to know most of the jargon. However, being that Steve Jobs is one of the richest men in America and possibly the most iconic tech CEO aside from Bill Gates, there's no excuse for the one guys calling him Steve Jhobs.

Nothing but ***** trolls - iandsehs05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hmm...idk about front page for this one...
- carguy84, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So Apple paid ABC to be a category on Jeopardy.
Wow, we can all die happy now. - adam84a, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"So Apple paid ABC to be a category on Jeopardy.

What does ABC have to do with it? Jeopardy is a syndicated show owned and produced by Sony. - spiderland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Build a frigging bridge and get over it. If you don't like it, don't read it. Nothing to see here, move along.."
Comments will always be positive and negative. So, in your own words, "Build a frigging bridge and get over it. If you don't like it, don't read it. Nothing to see here, move along.." - Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wonder how much Apple paid for that placement?
- Tekmazter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lame
and minus -digg for wasting my time on this one - stevievep, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oooh..BS on the digg front page.... The way I see it is, 'so what?'. My understanding of digg is the very transitory nature of its 'news' anyway. I personally don't mind because hell, it might be marginally interesting to someone and where else could it be noticed while still topical? So I dugg it too, just for the sake of how I find digg to be differently useful...So not so much a digg for the story, but a digg for digg.com.
- TheOSS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ok... I like Apple, always have... but why is this on the front page of digg?
- MonkeyFit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0@Bugmenot2
That's probably why most of the contestants didn't get the answers right. I don't know how it runs on Mac, but I would never call that piece of ***** bloatware Quicktime a speedy product on the PC. - kamizu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0nice to know, but not diggworthy. i like macs, i even own one, but seriously, front page? lame.
- enanogrande1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I have to agree with everyone else. Even as a Mac user, the recent trend of fanboy articles is getting pretty annoying. I understand that digg is social-based, and as such there can never be true control of the content, but it would be nice if the users themselves showed more judgement.
stlcadet11: Jobs' annual salary as CEO of Apple Computers is 1 Dollar (American). However, he makes all of his money from the stock he owns in the company, along with what he owns in Pixar. - spiderland, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"I lost on Jeopardy, baby." - Wierd Al Yankovic.
Oh yeah, no digg. Too many lame articles lately. - markperia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0wtf is this? who cares if its on jeopardy?!
I like apple as much as the next guy...actually im lying, I dont like apple that much except for Final Cut Pro. But this is just lame. - stlcadet11, on 10/12/2007, -1/+01 dollar salary :Stevie J??? dont get that one
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1OK, folks. This is not the Apple fanboy blog. Why the hell did this get enough diggs to get to the front page?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0why is this worth talking about much less digging?
- Sturmur, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0My God, who cares, are we going to start stories when every time Apple is said in public?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0ok, as much as i like apple. this is dumb as hell. this is the kind of crap that makes me sympathize with the apple haters.
you get no digg and may god have mercy on your soul. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0digg.com is a socialist web site. Funny, I actually thought it was democratic.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Not a tech story. Stupid Apple fanboys, please stop posting stuff like this and then digging the crap out of it.
- ThinkBox, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0fanboys unite...
gosh this is lame
