What is Digg?141 Comments
- Jareth86, on 11/27/2007, -22/+82I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he owns a few black trench coats, doesn't leave the house often, and has very few off line friends.
I'm not defending mac fanboyism, but I hate when self riotous ***** who think their ***** smells sweeter than most try to silence people they don't agree with, whether it be political or something stupid like this.
"Amusingly enough, you silly Mac fanbois seem to be stirring up quite a few untruths about me here and there on the internet."
This guy needs to get the ***** over himself. For a guy who accuses other people of hubris... - f4nt0m4s, on 11/27/2007, -6/+63If giving Apple more attention was this guy's goal, than mission accomplished. Now I get another apple story on top of what I normally see on Digg, which is something like this...
-topic w/ pic
-iphone!
-boobies [nsfw]
-global warming story
-iphone
-iphone
-macs are cool
-just in, people dislike vista

"I LIKE MACS LOLOL!!1~!"
"I HAX J00!"
I don't know what's dumber: fanboys or anti-fanboys. No one ***** cares what operating system you use. Windows, OS X, or Ubuntu, it's all the same *****—a tool that helps you do a job. What some people need to do is eat a nice big bowl of humility every morning. - oojamaflip2006, on 11/27/2007, -5/+38Both sites mentioned in this article are hosted on Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) servers, your remark about them being hosted on windows machines is part of what malcor and many others find so utterly pathetic about macintosh fanboys.

"And make no mistake, I don't mean to imply that I'm the worlds greatest hacker and can work my magic on any site. The #1 site I'd love to take down for all its Apple fanboism is digg.com but I doubt I'll be able to find any exploit holes on a site so big. Of course, it won't stop me from trying, though." - jynweythek, on 09/17/2008, -1/+29"ron paul watches two girls one cup on his iphone [nsfw/pics]"

- Identity4, on 11/27/2007, -4/+23-you forgot Ron Paul...
- sparkmonkeyz, on 11/27/2007, -6/+23I thought the Apple fan site hacks were fake and PR stunts that I never seem to get.
- andrew7667, on 11/27/2007, -1/+17"...running something other than Windows to host those sites."
Reading comprehension doesn't appear to be one of your strong suits, banmaster. - inactive, on 11/27/2007, -27/+43oh well... Getting kind of lame. Wasn't cool to hack Glenn and macapper, but at least it was something different. Now I fear that this is a fat guys cry for help.

- MrMustard, on 11/27/2007, -6/+20Shock Horror, a self proclaimed Apple fanboy squeezes in a dig at Microsoft ;)
- derjames, on 11/27/2007, -2/+16'Ubuntu' is missing in that list..
- r5a2k3, on 11/27/2007, -4/+16lol. he wants to take down digg...
"The #1 site I'd love to take down for all its Apple fanboism is digg.com but I doubt I'll be able to find any exploit holes on a site so big.

- inactive, on 11/27/2007, -0/+10I buried this story as spam. You people are pretty stupid if you still think that someone is actually "hacking" these sites. It's a stunt to get publicity - all the owners do is submit the link to their site when it is "hacked" then remove the page with the hacked image some time later after people then know their site URL. It's not hard for someone to stick up a picture of an Apple and pretend to be hacked. I wonder who this "malcor" guy actually is? It's not Glenn Wolsey because his English is too good but it could be someone very closely related to all of these websites.
The 'hacking' was already proven false by Mac1.no (a website with close ties to Apple and which comes preloaded on all Norwegian versions of Safari) - http://mac1.no/artikkel/5885/mac-hacking-er-pr-stu ...
Buried rightfully as spam. - Grimdotdotdot, on 11/27/2007, -2/+11No 'top ten' list? No spelling mistakes?
3/10. Must try harder. - kahrn, on 11/27/2007, -1/+10After viewing your comment I am convinced the comment you made is an attempt to promote your site for sure!!!
- oojamaflip2006, on 11/27/2007, -0/+8You failed so miserably. You didn't even have the sense to write "Dont cry for me Cupertino"
- rot13ubercrypto, on 11/27/2007, -3/+11Most likely fake. Nonetheless, I hate Mac fanboys as much as any other fanboys, but real (e.g. non-marketing stunt) juvenile, arrogant twits are even higher on the list.
Especially amusing, netcraft says: www.applematters.com Site Report January 2003 Gippy's Internet Solutions Linux - schoate09, on 11/27/2007, -2/+10Stopped reading at "I'm an Apple fanboy". Self admitted fanboys make me sick.
- gotamd, on 11/27/2007, -0/+7I thought it was already agreed that this was a hoax?
- jads, on 11/27/2007, -7/+14Hmm... we could attempt to take down his site, legally of course. His blog at blogspot is violating the content policy set out by blogger,
"After careful review, Blogger may remove content or place a content warning page before viewing content deemed offensive, harmful, or dangerous, such as promotion of dangerous and illegal activity"
http://help.blogger.com/?page=troubleshooter.cs&pr ... - asificare, on 11/27/2007, -1/+7THIS IS FAKE!
MacHeist PAID AppleMatter, GlenWolsey, MacApper and all the other sites to pretend to be hacked.

Mewhunter67 Dies! - TheCheeks, on 11/27/2007, -7/+12Yawn. What a moron.
- keozen, on 11/27/2007, -1/+6But he IS advocating the hacking of other sites and being open about his doing such.
That would break the Blogger TOS, he says himself in the Blog that he's shocked Blogger hasn't taken it down yet - inactive, on 11/27/2007, -10/+15What a dick. If he doesn't want to read about apple - why not just NOT visit those sites?
*****. - inactive, on 11/27/2007, -0/+4hacked iphone
- marcz, on 11/27/2007, -1/+5Read above comments.
- zimsters, on 11/27/2007, -2/+6did anyone notice that its being hosted on a linux webserver? if it were an apple webserver, that'd have more of an effect.
- ElectricSoup, on 11/27/2007, -0/+4To anyone who still thinks "malcor needs a girlfriend", "I have to go and hack Windows webs sites", etc., etc.
Click the link. "malcor" does not exist. It's a stupid publicity stunt. It's a slimy way to attempt to drive traffic.
The linked site now has an apology up:

"A Bad PR Stunt

"I am very sorry to post this publicly but at this point this has gone to [sic] far." - ohhoe, on 11/27/2007, -1/+4YOU CAN HACK OUR MICROSOFT BASED HOSTING PROVIDERS, BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY OUR OSX.
- asificare, on 11/27/2007, -0/+3Never, because malcor doesn't excist
- MacParrot, on 11/27/2007, -0/+3If you had read his blog you might have noticed that he claims to be a Mac user, soooo Malcor using a Mac shouldn't be a big surprise.

"A Bad PR Stunt
by Hadley Stern
Nov 27, 2007
I am very sorry to post this publicly but at this point this has gone to far. Apple Matters is a big site, and it runs on Expression Engine, one of the best platforms out there. At this point this joke is begginning to impact other businesses and I cannot let that happen.
I made a mistake of judging the inpact of this hoax. Apple Matters runs on the incredibly perfect platform Expression Engine and is hosted by Engine hosting, which is a fantastic company. When I was first approached me about the hoax I thought it was a little harmless fun. I am literally shaking right now because I did not fully understand the impact of this, so lesson learnt. Again, Apple Matters, running on expression engine was in no way hacked. It was a joke publicity stunt that I thought would be funny to attract attention."
The title of the page is now "A Bad PR Stunt." Anybody who still doesn't understand this to be a PR stunt should perhaps add some more tinfoil to their hat. - death2newbs, on 11/27/2007, -1/+4What is wrong with people anyway? Everyone feels a need to team up? By the way, Coke rules and Pepsi blows.
- MacParrot, on 11/27/2007, -0/+3Wow, you should write a blog about this and post it on digg instead of dropping it into a completely unrelated topic.
- tracydanger, on 11/27/2007, -1/+4Who said he doesn't like apple? I thought he just didn't like arrogance, particularly for people that love their computers made by Apple Inc (I myself love my Apple computer and I'd like others to enjoy the same experience, but I don't consider it arrogance).
- Hayaemsay, on 11/27/2007, -6/+9Fanboys crying = none.
- jads, on 11/27/2007, -0/+3oh the irony! www.malcor.com is made on a mac :)
Shame he didn't buy the domain name before the current owner... - chris9902, on 11/27/2007, -14/+16He doesn't like Apple so he must be a fat guy who is 30 odd and wears a suit, right?
I see those Apple ads haven't gotten to you. - MacParrot, on 11/27/2007, -0/+2That might actually be relevant if it was an Apple server hacked instead of just being Apple related news sites hosted on Linux servers, but you're welcome to be delusional.
- posure, on 11/27/2007, -0/+2WordPress uses a LAMP stack, typically that means a Linux/BSD host.
