Apple Apocalypse

I've been enjoying the hysteria in the Mac community over the announcement that they're switching to Intel processors (a delight that highlights in pastel neon ink what a wretched, wretched geek I am).

In my defense, there are few things online as insufferable as Mac evangelists. They're the humorless fundies of on-line culture, perpetually peering down their long noses at those not wearing the identifying pince nez of inclusion, a pack of modern day Cecil Vyse's from Room with a View. They hail from the same acoustic tile-lined rooms as the Amiga fanatics of my youth, emotionally invested in the superiority of a sexy platform with a management team staffed by Enron rejects and steered by the captain of the Titanic. Maybe that's what makes them such pills.

Anyway.
More bad news for them if this little internet bird is right in his theorizing.
(Caution: for best results be sure your tinfoil hat is firmly secured before reading.)

/edit
solid editorial tying in the current Apple 'switch' to the disaster Jobs infliced on Next back in the day. Some people just never learn.
note to OP: it's "tome" not "tomb", and "eke" not "eek".
Spell checkers can't do all the work I guess.
