So in paragraph 1 they say that the changes google will make to webkit will make it run badly on OS X, and then in paragraph 1.1 they say that they won't make technical changes because it's a political move? Yeah, that makes sense. Not.

Fairly lame Apple fanboy BS / SPAM. Not everything revolves around their favorite company/religion.
And not even slightly funny.

Silly article. Apparently someone is unhappy with this development.

"We have a direct strategic interest in destroying Apple's mobile platforms."
The general public shares that interest, so it seems this thing is good for everyone.
Go Google!

LWM.net ain't Slashdot. Your comment (the link that you posted, with scarce comments that doesn't show if you share its view), if it wasn't meant earnest, was not funny, enlightening, intelligent, civilized, or professional, either. If it was earnest, please tell us, so that we can ignore you in the future.
While you should continue to pay your subscription, please be assured that we won't take offense if you stop posting this kind of comments and stop trying to lower the quality of discussion on this site.
Thank you.

You take yourself way too seriously. Lighten up!
While the OP may not have been constructive in any technical sense it was a good joke.

No, not at all. It wasn't a joke - if you look at the guy's Web site you'll see that he's Apple-centric, all relevant IT posts revolve around Apple, OS X, iOS, and iTunes. It was not good either, FWIW.

FWIW, I didn't even look at the guy's site (still haven't and won't), I got the link from elsewhere.
Personally, that post tickled my funny bone, and I also think that, as much as I love Google and wish them all the best, there's at least some truth to the statements. I do not buy that the fork has been made for technical reasons alone. I also think that the move makes sense, from a competetive standpoint.
Having said that, I will disregard your advice on what I am allowed to do and what I am not, which, frankly, I find way beyond appropriate.

Do whatever you want, just take your "I just have to share this:"-links elsewhere, you probably like Facebook, so that might be the appropriate site.

That post was very silly and not funny. It had not place on LWN.

That's certainly true. The number of obnoxious blowhards possessed of an extraordinarily over-inflated sense of self-importance is far higher here.
(Seriously now, your comment was so far out of line that you can't even *see* the line from there.)
