Every few months I'm reminded of the intensity of feeling some technologies - be they physical objects (they usually are) or web services - engender in a certain subset of the human population. It's a well-documented effect: The object of desire is courted for months before launch, then at launch it is defended to the death, and then, when it is obvious that said object is a success or failure, they react with righteous jubilation or, barring that, a muted boosterism seen in people who play the same numbers in the lotto day after day.
