When a company as cool as Google releases something as sucky as the Google Reader, everybody tries so damn hard to find a thousand excuses for why they messed up (or just praise the GLord).
And when a company as cool as Apple releases something as sucky as the iPod Nano, everybody grumps and complains and sues their ass, but they still find a thousand excuses for why they messed up (or just praise the iLord).
But when a company as sucky as Microsoft releases something as cool as WinFS, Aero and .NET, everybody rants about what a rip off it is, how stupid, evil and brain-damaged it is. Kill Microsoft!
