Fanboy/girls
-
Is any one else here sick of all of the fanboys/girls out there in the programming world? I am just wondering because it seems like every article that I read now that has something a little bad to say about a company it becomes a religious war on the comments. If it is a Microsoft article all the Apple fan people come out agree with the article and bad mouth Microsoft. Than all of the Microsoft fan people come on defend Microsoft and bad mouth Apple. The reverse happens when it is an article about Apple. What ever happened to using the best solution for the problem?

But we Microsoft/Apple fanbois know that we are using the best product for the solution. Delete as appropriate.

Isn't it 'the best solution to problem'? What's 'the best product for a solution'?
And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
"Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"And I smiled and was happy
And it came worse. -

The iPad. It's a solution looking for a problem. Runs and hides.
Not just the iPad. I'm yet to be convinced by tablet PCs - having recently bought 2 of them.

Nope. I don't read comments. They're the television of the internet - there's a lot of different crap, but it's all crap.

I’m a well-known Microsoft fan boy and I also think the iPad is one of the best products the IT industry has ever produced, love my Kindle and have Android phone. I suppose this makes me what? Schizophrenic? :-D

Not if you have kids. :) I prefer my kids to play games which is designed (at least part of them) to increase their creativity instead watching the idiot-box like a couch potatoes.

Nope, you're a gopher. You gopher this, and you gopher that, and when something new comes along you gopher that too.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
The cat goes “meow”, the dog goes ”woof” and the gopher goes “Oh, shiny!”

The term is technological agnosticism, unfortunately that becomes undermined by technical evangelists.

I don't mind fanboys so much as those who have an attitude: "I refuse to use company X's products on principle." OK, maybe if they've sacrificed babies or something but it's not usually that is it? I just use whatever I judge best suits my needs at any point in time.
