I came across this site last week, thalo.net.
This guy is some sort of angry old school OS 9 user who feels personally betrayed by OS X. So much so he has built an entire website around his ego- er I mean cause- to show us OS X users how wrong we are for liking it, and we should realize that we're being tricked by Jobs - or something.
Take a gander at this nonsense, and particularly the messageboards, where the FUD and misinformation is so thick, I honestly can't tell if the site is parody or not.

Well his site mentions that the forums don't work with Safari, but I viewed them successfully. It's not my problem if he doesn't want to switch.

Thalo is well-remebered by various MacFixit refugees.
His constant bull tirades and the circle-jerking, insults, high-fiving, and denial by the crew of "X Critics" got so repetitive and offensive that a couple of people were finally banned after two years of vitriolic exchange.
Thalo lost his high-five buddies, and, after being told repeatedly - finally! - by a moderator just how far he was out of line, he packed his drab gray, er, Platinum, playthings and left in a huff.
Serious advice: Don't bother with the site. It's wasted time and effort.

Quite amusing 
But entirely useless beyond a brief smirk.

Err. That pic got me thinking about Holocaust. I'll assume that wasn't your intention?
Anyway, I actually took my time to read a bit on their forum pages, and beside some posters with some clue the rest was mostly close minded rambling. The scary part is that they are really serious about it and chairing each other up.

Of course not. I did it in like 10 minutes...these guys aren't worth more than that much attention.

I agree with him on the stripes part. Heck even Apple is toning them down.
They need just gotten rid of.
