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.
