One of the technology sites/blogs that I visit most often, Engadget, has disabled commenting after days of accusations of strongly pro-Apple sentiment, perhaps even with a bit o monetary kickback from Cupertino. The allegations have come from days and days of pre-iPad articles, post-iPad-announcement articles, rumors and speculations on the iPad, editorials on the iPad, and repeated spam about Apple products to the near-abandonment of all other topics. I must admit that I am among those sorely sick of hearing about the iPad and other Apple products from Engadget; I think the most pathetic article I saw them have was a hole cut in a dream cast controller with an ipod cable stuck inside. Unfortunately, since comments are turned off, you can't see all the people facepalming that something that idiotic actually reached the front page. Discuss.

People need to learn how to use the /exclude/ URLs, but they are lazy bums.

Next Hack A Day's going to block commenting on the prevalence of crappy Arduino projects on its site.
