What's fascinating to me is that he ended the piece with a bunch of lolbertarian claptrap. Guy hoaxes a few tech news sites and all of the sudden he's Milton Friedman.
Agreed. "Massive effect on the outside world?" I hadn't even heard of this until I saw this post on HN. Tech journalists don't take the time to investigate these one-off stories because, honestly, there's not much to them. Post the picture and beef up a blurb about how it might be fake, then add some links to previous Nexus rumors. Done and done. This guy seems a little too happy with himself for something so insignificant.
what?

Did you get to the "gradual seriousness" and "corn syrup" connection the author somehow made?
