I really like that he termed a website an "operating system." It's funny to see what kind of weird stuff comes out of the mind of rock stars only surrounded with yes men.
People refer to Facebook as an "operating system": http://www.redherring.com/Home/23046 or http://www.google.com/search?q=facebook+operating+system
The way I see it, this is just an entrepreneur being very passionate about his product, and some too-cool-for-school kids make jokes about it. I submitted the (full) source article to HN a couple of hours ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1034444

Whereas us computer sciency people know that's only the icing on the cake of an "operating system".

This is the network he was plugging: http://modlife.com/ There are a lot of other sites in this space and I can't say this one stands out as being particularly impressive.

I'm not sure whether it's pathos or schadenfreude, but there's something fascinating about the weird approval-seeking behaviour exhibited by this former cool kid towards the new cool kids, especially given the enormous stylistic gulf between the two bands.

Wow - that looks like Myspace 1.5. And not in a good way - this site is confusing.
I think for a site like this your much more likely to be successful if you can be the only network people use. Most users of a site like this would probably still have say a facebook. A myspace with good tech would have achieved this.

Good luck to them, very tough space.
