Anti-Apple Anger

I've noticed a very clear trend among tech sites I read: Android fans are unusually quick to fill the comment box with rage on articles that mention anything positive about Apple or its products. The reverse — Apple fans leaving angry comments on pro-Android articles — is almost completely absent from the sites I've seen, including sites like The Verge that have many readers in both camps.

Marco Arment on anti-Apple anger. I've seen this, as well. When I got my Thunderbolt Display at work, one of my colleagues looked at it and said he didn't have a problem with it, but that “there are some haters in this company.” At first, I had no idea what he meant. Now I think I'm starting to understand.
