In this comment you offered the same theory about "pump and dump" that many others had over an hour earlier. It wasn't anything new. And the idea that Apple's demise would lead to the rise of Ubuntu is, well, let's just again say that I didn't (and won't) downvote you.
I'm not very concerned about non-interested parties (such as yourself) downvoting. mainly, I'm interested in how much sockpuppetry is actually going on. it's relatively trivial to make a bunch of posts using a myriad of nicknames (I have 5+ abandoned accounts with more than 500 karma each - lost the password to all of them), so I'm fairly certain that if a random sociopath had enough time, he could easily game the comments of a thread.
