Perhaps off topic, but did anybody else have an impossible time trying to figure out exactly if/when that article ended? Was it at the video screenshots? The Gypsy cab thing? When the header text starts getting indented?

I haven't been this confused in... well, at least 10 minutes.

The people who made the ads used whatever tools they usually use - so what? I don't expect all the camera operators on a McCain ad are Republicans, nor that Pepsi is banned from the canteen at Coca-Cola's ad agency.

Flagged. This is retarded linkbait.

No offense to bootload who has submitted tons of good stuff.

I almost agree with you 100%. I've worked with an agency up in SF on a few projects for Adidas, and when the clients are coming in the word goes out banning Nike shoes for the day. So it does get that ridiculous sometimes, but the pc/mac war always drives me crazy.

I've worked at Microsoft before and I can tell you that a lot of people have Apple products. From iPhones to Macbooks and the like. That's the beauty of freedom.

Not necessary... Daniel Eran Dilger has an army of Digg accounts, which he uses to Digg all own articles. Then he cross links to them on AppleInsider under the pen name "Prince McLean".

I wouldn't expect anything less from a guy with a Friendster photo album like this... http://www.friendster.com/viewphotos.php?a=0&uid=1033063

I know people on the IE development team that use Macbooks (running OS X) as their primary machines - it doesn't mean a thing.
