Tech > BOZOs

Discovered this while reading about Apple's move to Intel chips (which I think is a good, though belated, move).

This gets to the crux of Apple's problems. Some of the people associated with Apple make it unattractive. This can include anyone from top Apple management all the way down to the user base. This unattractive group, let's call it the Bitter Obstinate Zealot Order (BOZO5 for short), whines, avoids reality, drinks too much Kool-Aid, self affirms, condescends, and annoys.

However, the admitted failings also will make the platform's weaknesses more readily apparent. That is actually a good thing. It's not only good for those that are hooked on Kool-Aid within the platform, but it's also good when those outside the platform see the weaknesses as well. When a weakness becomes so highlighted that it cannot be ignored, it has a greater chance of being addressed. Conversely, when BOZOs constantly defend weaknesses in their platform, there is a greater chance that the weakness will not be fixed. Ergo, the platform's weaknesses receive less attention than they ought, which results in platform stagnation.

Make your own comparisons to fringe elements of any political party.
