This would have to be true for everything (and everybody), not just cell phone manufacturers, or it would be a weak assertion if even true. I'm a native born American and I've been working with computers before there was an MS-DOS, and I've never pulled for Microsoft about anything. Ever. And that's true for 95% of all geeks I know of similar background. I claim false assertion. I pull for the people that I think have the biggest clue, and that can change from quarter to quarter. So, using quantum physics probabilities, I could be pulling for Microsoft in the Fall. But most likely I'll keep pulling for that Finnish dude.

Or were you guys just talking about bloggers and reporters?
