Proof that Apple pays astro-turfers!
When I was at Apple, one the competitive team?s central goals was to goad Microsoft and Intel into targeting us in public. ... We hounded them in online discussions.

Well, that explains many of the talkbacks! I've always suspected that Apple paid these people to reply to blogs and now we have the proof. happy
