Everytime they add a new feature I have this vague and unsupported feeling they are falling down this slippery slope towards utter evilness.
Please google for the sake of the children stop comming up with cool stuff. If you have to add something make it useless and sucky.

You raise a really, really good point about nerd culture in general. While nerds are seen as being outcasts by and large, we definatly push keep that true. We like unpopular things by choice, and shun popular things, much like popular things/people shun us.
It's great to be a geek.
