Torvalds Risks 'Fatwa' From Apple Cult
Here's something I know from experience: Dis Apple or Steve Jobs publicly, even in a mild way, and the Apple Cultists descend on you like the zombies in Dawn of the Dead. Or maybe the flying monkeys in Wizard of Oz. You get the picture. Nail Apple in a public forum, and you can depend on your in box filling with nasty-grams from dot-mac addresses.
So, considering that Linux founder Linus Torvalds called Apple's latest operating system "utter crap" -- and considering the coverage it's gotten -- I'm picturing him huddled with his family in their basement while Mac enthusiasts pound on the windows. Good luck, Linus.
