Malcor: Hacker or marketing tool?

(In advance I will apologize, some images go outside the margins on this entry.)
For those who don’t know, a “hacker” who goes by Malcor is supposedly taking down Mac related notes. I’ll let you read his blog here for the whole story, the basics are that he has supposedly taken down several Mac related sites for being too shallow.
When you look at it, something just doesn’t add up. Malcor’s first target was http://www.glennwolsey.com/ , a site dedicated to misc Macintosh guides and news entries as far as I can tell. His reasoning for taking down the site is because he is supposedly a angry PC user who is mad at people mocking his PC hardware (remember this, it will be key later.)
It is infected with smugness, and more and more, the symptoms are starting to show, whether it’s the eye roll at the non-iPod music player, or the snide comments about my laptop’s lack of curves.
