Did the OP ask your opinion on this guy's website? No. He asked what
you thought about the article.

What does this have to do with the article? I can as easily claim based
on your reply that you are a moron too, resorting to ad hominem. The OP
asked about opinions from Mac programmers. Are you a Mac programmer? I
doubt it.

This is bullshit. You don't even know what a Mac "handle" is.

To the OP: I've been programming Macs sinve 1984: What this guy says
about Mac handles and links to webpages is basically true. It is simply
an analogy between the concept of Mac handles and links to redirection
pages.

As far as I am concerned, the analogy holds. The rest irrelevant.
