Massive, widespread revolt on Digg
If you weren’t watching Digg tonight, you missed history being made. For the first time in a long while, I gained a massive amount of respect for Digg users. Here’s why. Or, check out the screenshot from last night. Every single story with the HD-DVD key. Update:This commenter says it best: “And to think, this…
