Never irk the ire of the internet fanboy.

If you haven't followed the stream of digg artlicles.... and have something better to do with your time... this is pretty funny.

http://www.overclock.net/hardware-news/313...fall-glory.html

Summary :

Daniel_K is a guy who has for a while been giving out good drivers for creative cards on vista. For some reason creative has taken to disabling many of the things that were enabled on their xp versions , and so daniel_k stepped in to fix it. They let him use their forums, and couldn't legally condone it, but never had a problem with any of it until Friday when they abruptly removed all of his threads and asked him to remove the files or be punished.

So , the forums went haywire with people pissed off.. it got picked up by every geek news website which sent more fanboys. Newegg (rumored) even suspended transactions of creative cards because so many people were returning them. I love fanboys if not for me watching them.

I also love the kid who broke his really expensive card and posted a picture of digg thinking it would be cool and everyone was like wow... your an idiot.

But no, this one could actually have implications for creative come a couple hours from now when work resumes for the week.

Terrible idea to do this on a friday... the internet just flew into a fervor.

I think they need a Gravis Ultrasound again to get themselves together.
