Bryan O'Bryan, a seasoned Apple platform software developer and administrator of the well-known Apple mod forum ResExcellence.com, has disappointingly exited the Apple ecosystem, publicly embracing Linux. He follows in the footsteps of Cory Doctorow, Mark Pilgrim, and Thom Holwerda as another senior Mac blogger who has left Apple's Mac OSX for Ubuntu. In response, Conrad, the author of the prominent Mac blog The Unofficial Apple Weblog, strongly reacted: "I don't care; since when did choosing a computing platform become a necessary public announcement?" As Bryan O'Bryan anticipated, he received a large amount of harsh criticism from fans — showcasing the sharp-edged nature of some fans' reactions.
