13. That's an understatement

In 20+ years of being a loyal Apple user, ranging from how I feel now (I own an MBP and a GS3, diversity is good), to my mid-90s raging fanboi EvangeLista (no, really, there was an Apple mailing list back then called the EvangeList) fighting the OS Wars on UseNet and relentlessly promoting Apple even during the Spindler-Amelio days..

..I've never found somebody less objective and more fanatically, religiously devoted to the Cult of Apple. From what I can gather, s/he would ideally see the DoJ dissolve Google and summarily ban every single Android product and quite possibly every product made by an Android producer. I'm not making any kind of personal judgement on the value of this kind of dedication, just observing.
