"There are many tribes in the tech world: TiVo lovers, Blackberry addicts, Palm Treo fanatics, and people who exhibit unhealthy affection for their Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners. But there is no bigger tribe, and none more zealous, than fans of Apple, who are infamous for their sensitivity to slams, real or imagined, against the beloved company. "It's funny - even if I write a generally positive piece about Apple, I still get more complaints from Apple partisans" than from opponents, Mossberg says. He has even coined a term for the effect. "I call it the Doctrine of Insufficient Adulation."

BTW - I modded the two other guys down, simply to be a PITA, and to show that modding someone down simply because you disagree with them is the most asinine reason ever to do so.
The only legitimate reasons to mod someone down, IMHO, are:
1. Their remarks were completely inflammatory
2. Their post was littered with expletives
3. Their post had showed bigotry of some form or another, and would be extremely offensive to certain segments, and reasonable people in general.
4. Their post contained egregious lies
5. Their post contained excessive personal attacts
... in other words, modding down should only come into play when someone is being a genuine d!ck.
And to the two guys that modded down Kaiwai - I modded you down simply because I disagreed with you - deal with it! ;-) ;-) hee hee
