Seems like the Lounge has been pretty busy. Are there any stats for the forum post announcement?

The traffic is not the only thing that increased after Apple's announcement.
We can also note an increase in delusional paranoia, conspiracy theories, shaky arguments and stupid comments. The future looks bright... or we are all doomed. This Intel thing has Al-Qaeda written all over it.
It's the bunnies! it's the bunnies! Let's all burn our computer!

It's not unusual there is always increase traffic around a Steve Jobs Keynote.

I'm not a lounge regular (I post occasionally when there's a topic I'm interested in and I usually duck flamewars ) but this is where the Intel talk seems to have coalesced.
