> Fixed. Cute. You must really be fan because that's another thing Arment likes to do. He writes snarky "fixed" versions of quotes from people saying remotely positive things about Android or anything that can be construed as negative about Apple. Opinionated, certainly, but I've found next to nothing in the way of facts in his arguments and rarely even a stated rationale. Face it, Arment is exactly what I described, even he knows it. He demonstrates it with pride: http://www.marco.org/2011/04/10/fanoboy-fan-boi http://www.marco.org/2011/04/10/fanoboy-fan-boi

Meh. What if the Android phones he picked up weren't satisfactory to a guy used to Apple products? He recently praised the new Google 7" tablet.

"Fixed", or more popularly "Fixed That For You" (FTFY). Is a common internet-ism, found on message boards, reddit, blogs, etc. definitely not exclusive to Marco, though now that you mention it I do recall seeing him use it.

  Three posts over the course of a year and a half from a guy who posts 70+ times a month. So he's a whole 0.23% critical of Apple? Great point! Seriously now, we both know the truth, stop grasping.

    Of course, because when I'm trying to argue on HN comments I always do comprehensive statistical analysis. I cited three articles, found in a couple of seconds, not the entire corpus of Marco's on-record statements regarding Apple.
