That's an infuriating title and even more infuriating article. Apple and the Mac had pretty much nothing to do with the invention of the wiki. Inspiration does not equal "was born of".
Celebrate the wiki, and its creator, by giving credit where credit is due: Ward Cunningham invented the wiki. He stood on the shoulders of giants, as do most people who do great things, but don't make him a single sentence in an article purportedly about his creation. That's just rude.
If you want to write an article about Hypercard, write a bloody article about Hypercard, don't try to ride on the coattails of the wiki.
