I find it odd, (well, maybe I shouldn't), that engadget always call blu-ray supporters/fanboys, "blu-ray supporters", and hd dvd supporters/fanboys, "hd dvd fanboys". I guess it's a way to show which side this site is biased towards.
I suspect, in the context of this article, the term fanboy was used because only the HD DVD fanboys would be "tittering" whereas regular HD DVD supporters could probably care less.
Plus everytime this site tweaks some overly sensitive fanboy's nose they get more posts and probably more hits as well.
