Matt was simply expressing his opinion. It was literally 3 words and had nothing to do with the rest of the article. That was directed at otto and defan. Matt was simply expressing his opinion.

She is an actress. Unless you know her personally or are somehow related to her, you can't really tell whether there is anything to like about her in the first place. Matt writes about technology which is exactly what he did, had crunchgear been a blog about celebrity gossip maybe you would be right in flaming him. However, it might have been a good idea to stay relevant to the actual post. Also, I would have used a better analogy, if I may: <i>"And while the cheapest Macs might be going the way of Hermione Granger's innocence..."</i> Wow. She is an actress.

Successful, sure. Talented, oh yes. But every time I see her, I like her a little less. So I stand by what I said re: Dakota Fanning. Sorry guys. And your original comment came pretty quickly on the heels of this article. What is it you're so hot about with me dissing poor little miss Fanning? Do you have a Google news alert that clues you in every time her name hits the web? If so, you're surely a dirty old perv. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but, ya know, ew. @ otto & defan: I’m sorry, but knocking on Paris or Lindsay Lohan is too easy these days, so I figured I’d switch it up some.

Hopefully a helpful sales representative will be helpful and redirect them to a more expensive and useful model.

Fuck you. Computers have nothing to do with the young talented actress (not to mention highly successful AND likable, and who at the age of 13 has banked more money than you'll ever make in your miserable little life). Trashing Dakota is ridiculous and uncalled for in an article like this. Do everyone a favor and try hiring someone who can actually write an intelligent article. Dakota Fanning’s likability?
