Journal: What is this Slashdot that you speak of?

Slashdot isn't a Linux site, nor does it claim to be. Google "Linux news", you wont find slashdot near the top of the list. Even CowboyNeil, an editor for slashdot, is a mac fan; check out his web site. This site is about "news for nerds, stuff that matters", which covers just about anything.

Most nerds don't even come here anymore, it's sort of the "Popular Science" of technical/scientific publications. When a topic is technical, you'll find that most comments are either off-topic or attempts at one-liner jokes. A lot of the slashdot crowd don't seem to have many real world technical skills, many of them are just college kids having fun.

Q: Why does slashdot feature Apple products so often?
A: With Apple, you can buy your nerd status w/o all of the technical mumbo-jumbo.
