I think Fake Steve Jobs coined the term... and it doesn't sound any worse than "fanboy" to me.

Really? A play on the politically-incorrect, downright offense word "retard", doesn't sound worse than "fanboy"? Wow, I guess it is all about perspective.

You are entitled to be offended, but the term has never really been more than a darkly affectionate moniker - Dan Lyons (fake Steve jobs) is a big fan of FOSS, as am I :)
