Any idea why it's on the front page? Is he using bots to juice his posts?


Well the perfect laptop is something most developers have an interest in, why couldn't the post have made it to the front page on its own merit?


Probably because he's a well known blogger?


In case anyone doesn't know, he's been one of the most popular Programmer bloggers for many years. He also started StackOverflow with Joel Spolsky (another very popular blogger). So his posts tend to be noticed.
