Welcome to public media where popularity counts.

I agree with trghpy: Digg's problems in this respect are a mirror of already existing mainstream media practice, not the other way around.

Then, being(according to you) they are so wrought with nonsense, just ignore them. I don't get emotional about people claiming that the sky is red, or that aluminum is magnetic, or other such nonsense. I believe it is still a telling sign that something is wrong when someone does feel anger in such situations, usually with the feeler :p.

'Cause Mac hardware == PC hardware and you'd have to be one of those people that have to be reminded by tech support to plug in the power cable to believe them...

Advertising Age is the trade magazine for the ad industry. The award is for best performance, not best campaign.

"It just uses hardware that can't be upgraded and an inferior operating system (OS X)."I never knew Mac's hardware couldn't be upgraded. Pretty funny since I just recently installed some RAM. Also, Mac OS X kicks Window's butt in several aspects. So, if you were trying to make a balanced scale there, guess who just won. *cough*The Mac*cough*
