Engadget and Digg are hotbeds of Apple reality distortion -- and you think being buried down is a "MS fanboy" response? Did you ever consider that the other 98% of the worlds' Computer users (those not with a Mac) might just know a thing or two about the PC platform that is a constant target of Mac Cult FUD?For f**k's sake, look at this article. Apple runs every app on the iphone as root. Someone discloses a full root exploit. And this forum is full of apologies, rationalization and misdirection.Further, realize for a moment that the Computer Industry -- ie. professionals who know what the f**k they are talking about -- arent required to forgive the Cult of Mac its prescious pet dogma, and sacred world view.
