I guess it was bound to happen, now that Apple is officially a "nerd" platform-- and what with people like Jordan Hubbard to post articles. Slashdot has now opened up an official Apple subsection, complete with a vaguely Aqua-esque look on the title bars.
One could be cynical and posit that this was done in order to get those damn Mac people out of the "regular" Slashdot-- a playpen to keep the freaks in, so they wouldn't pollute the discussions with their delusional rantings whenever someone posts an article about Apple's overpriced hardware or their foolish backing of BSD instead of Linux or their audacity in charging money for their OS.
But I won't. I'll just be happy that there's this legitimacy being granted to the community, even if it is little more than a pot/kettle name-calling contest in the worst-case scenario, and the source of pressure for "bsd.slashdot.org" and "be.slashdot.org" and "amiga.slashdot.org" in the best-case (and, in fact, current) scenario. I think there's realism behind the move, and I applaud it. Good luck, CmdrTaco.
