Pictured above is the latest Techmeme news cluster (-fuck) set off by some moron at the NYT.

I love it that people who six months ago never once gave a moment's thought to mobile usability or functionality are suddenly experts at The Right and True Way of Mobility (and you'll have to pry their iPhones from their cold dead fingers to convince them otherwise). And I also love the sounds of apoplectic rage emanating from the old-skool mobile heads who want to defend their high tower of mobile industry expertise from the hoards of mobile newbies.

I don't actually bother reading any of this stuff, but it's very amusing to see. It's become like Usenet's September The Never Ended in a way...

But hey, like Lindsey Lohan says, the worst thing in the world is if they *don't* write about you.
