That made me chuckle at myself a bit. I think you might be right about my comment on pedantry being pedantic. Point taken, and thanks for bringing that to my attention. I think that even though Arlington gets caught up a bit in what he perceives as the grand struggles between the giants, he understands a large portion of what he writes. He may not quite grasp the difference between platform and OS, but he senses some of the consequences a shift towards a google-centric computing universe would have. That said, I'm growing a bit weary of every techcrunch article being posted on hn. I used to read it avidly when I first began working on my startup, and it provided a great deal of motivation. But looking at it now, quite a bit of it seems to be drama or hyperbole about one topic or another. Much more thought-provoking content on hn.
