What's the lowest form of identity pride?

Your "celebration" stinks sad nationalism which I found one of the weakest identity pride. You'll understand what I mean...

Two days ago, El Reg posts (by orlowsky) a lenghty report on Psion and begins his “special feature” with some key words such as:

"Remarkable achievement"

"Entirely new silicon"

"This was the last time anyone undertook such a daunting task"

Observe how passion fuelled by the flag can almost make you hear Britannia chanting.

Today, Ray's “celebration” wants us to believe that there are some similarities between a product El Reg haven't yet touched or played with and a “retarded uncle” as they put it for Apple's Newton.

Observe the wording used to celebrate this comparison:

"Foray"

"Newton’s failure on dodgy handwriting recognition"

“iPhone failings may yet plague its descendent”

Oh Bill, I wish you guys had a mirror which showed your real image. You guys are turning into columnist “wannabes” because you swim in your own contradictions.
