Human nature is to fear what we cannot control - male humans demonstrate this pretty clearly in situations like the one outlined above. Reading the comments on the original article, and on Digg, show me that women may have come a long way, baby...but there's still a cohort of guys who haven't managed to crawl out of the cave yet. That a good number of them have to be under 35 says that we've still got work to do in raising boys to recognize that greater physical strength doesn't equate to Web - or world - domination.

A cautionary tale about how the intersection of ideas and celebrity can create a naked emperor - you start reading your own press, particularly in places like Vanity Fair, and it's heady stuff. One might be distracted from the original idea, and its execution.

Fall in love with the sound of your own voice at your peril.

Basically, it's a disaster. Using your customers as your R&D department isn't a terrible idea. However, asking them to pay for the privilege is. I wonder if their current 'world domination' status can continue, given the fallout from the Vista launch AND Bill Gates stepping down as CEO.
