Used to be the pro-apple fanboys were the biggest haterz, but lately the crazy hate comes from the anti-Apple crowd. Why?
The rise of Android, which has spawned a fanboy cult every bit as devoted as Apple's.
The fall of Microsoft, which is now smaller than Apple. Apple seriously threatens to destroy Microsoft now, if Windows 8 flubs.
And the Linux crowd, which expected an age-of-aquarius open software movement to be upon us, and got Apple instead.
The why is simple - Apple has a jackboot on the throat of technology. Many of us experienced a marvel of innovation and growth, which Apple is now strangling.
I don't really see the desktop PC going anywhere, mobility devices will end the need for laptops, but desktops will have a place for many years.
Personally, I hate Windows 8 and Metro: BUT if Microsoft creates synergy between the desktop and mobility devices, particularly tablets, then the game will change significantly.
Oh, and Apple will still be evil.
