I know I'm older than most here (and have the tri-focals to prove it) but did anyone else read this as "modem outrage"? Perhaps it's just the font used on HN because as I type this, it's pretty clear that:
modem != modern
But with formatted (and deemphasized) title text I see modem = modern.
Back to the topic at hand - I don't think modern outage is much different than it used to be. The main difference is that it spreads much faster. Outrage used to start in one location and might take months to reach another part of the country (at which point it would be over in the originating location). Now it's possible to have everyone enraged (outraged?) at once.
