Go back and read it again -- it's all speculation and vitriol.  It
presents things as facts that no one could possibly know.  For
example, part of the argument is about PR strategy.  How does anyone
know, for sure, what that might be?

I am all for diffusing hero worship.  However, let's not just, well,
hate-monger.  If we're going to mob up on something, how about we mob
up on, oh, how cool the OLPC is.  :)
