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.
