"For years, tech critics like me have occasionally endured abuse from the Cult of Mac. If you write anything that even hints at a less-than-perfect Apple effort ... the backlash is swift, vitriolic and heated. We're talking insults, vulgarities and even threats. I've always thought that that vocal sub-population of Mac fans make up the world's most watchful, most hostile grass-roots lobbying arm.
But now I see that I was wrong. There's an even nastier one: the BlackBerry nuts.
When did this happen? Maybe when Apple entered the smartphone racket and started getting all the attention. All of a sudden, Apple was no longer the underdog; it was suddenly Goliath. The poor little BlackBerry was the underdog."
