This article has recently gotten a lot of attention and raged through Digg. The cause for the attention is data to back up a very bold claim:

This got the attention of someone at Apple (who writes at ridiculous fish). He’s not speaking on behalf of Apple, but he does point out some significant flaws in the conclusions made. A word of warning though, it’s an extremely technical article and unless you’re familiar with operating system design (words like malloc), it might confuse you more than educate.
