The Digital Consultant

I have received a link to this tongue in cheek article from a number of sources now. It qualifies for one of the definitions of "link bait" (I know, I just linked to it myself. I get the irony!) although comment bait is probably a more accurate description and where I want to focus attention. I got a bit of a chuckle out of the article. It's well written (much better than anything I could produce that's for sure) and I have a soft spot for satire but the comment stream indicates the human race is so far away from anything approaching world peace it's not funny. Give me an extra ear and call me odd but I get super concerned when people have so much emotional investment in a computing platform they feel compelled to comment let alone troll. I'll let you in on a secret people "It's a computing platform". Where not talking oppressive dictatorship, civil war, terrorism, drought or starvation. Just a frickin' computer platform which will be superseded in two or so years time. Value the differences. Better yet, celebrate them.
