Besides, the man has a valid point.

This is a problem. Most of what you call Fanboys are people sharing experiences and stories as well as preferences. You somehow misconstrue this as rabid sheepism. Fuck, I've been around Apple long enough to know they're not perfect.

As for my 360, sure it's died nine times, but I keep getting a new one from MS because I LOVE THE PRODUCT. Not a knock.

The only place I chose to correct the man is when he said a shit covered toilet with an Apple logo on it would somehow be awesome and people would love it to death because of the logo. That kind of stereotype is ridiculous! There is a lot here that you missed, and I would appreciate it if you refrained from calling somebody a fanboy in the future. The term frankly stinks. Like an Apple toilet covered in shit. Or a Microsoft one. Or Sony. Or Nintendo. Or HP.

So in conclusion, internet, think before you act. You don't like a certain product? Fine, don't use it. Don't bash people who do for no reason. That goes for everyone. And "fanboy" needs to die. Now. It is divisive and nasty. Every company is going to have devoted followers, Apple's are just easier to spot because of their heritage and the people who run the company and what they choose to do with their advertisements and announcements. It's not a bad thing.

I do not condone the actions of the people who ignore reason and logic and blindly follow anything without thinking and asking questions. That is a main characteristic and mantra of mine in all aspects of my life. So I may prefer Apple, it does not make me a rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth, blind, violent, mean and credit-card-at-the-ready lunatic. I don't think anybody is. You probably shouldn't either.

I post this on Gizmodo because I feel the community is intelligent enough to actually understand and respond to it. Seriously fellow commentors, most of you are just fucking fantastic. Hear my plea.

As The Magnificen7 already said, it's a blog. You're not forced to read every Apple article that you obviously don't give a shit about. Go play troll somewhere else.

These days, it seems like instead of "Gizmodo: The Gadget Blog" it's "Gizmodo: iPhones! iPhone apps! iPhone t-shirts! iPhone condoms! and all the other Apple stuff too! Oh, and we might cram a couple posts about some of those other gadgets in there. If there's room on the page."
