People finding the mass somehow less holy and sacramental when celebrated in their native tongue need to reflect on their own perspectives on what makes something holy.

NIV is the preferred translation for the low-church side, the evangelicals, so definitely won't be used by the bells-and-smells high church crowd. KJV is preferred by a niche who also prefers the Book of Common Prayer liturgy over Common Worship. Usually this is either an older population, a certain ethnic subgroup with calcified traditions, or old-school low church folks (so not modern evangelicals) who prefer the old ways and even the Thirty-Nine Articles.

The Death of the Author came about in 1967, even New Criticism, which foreshadowed Death, came about only at the earliest the 1930s-40s, after IA Richards published his Practical Criticism.

Shelley wrote in the Romantic period, when the artist's personal "genius" was paramount as a conduit to the "sublime". Saying that he somehow whipped up a criticism of "author as the arbiter of meaning" in what is practically a product of a friendly poetry contest is plainly absurd.

Strangely you also attributed this anachronistic reading to Shelley, making it somehow the author's intent to be counter-author-intent. Just... why?

If you want a prime example, OP, you should look into 4chan /lit/'s massively collaboratively written post-ironic tome "Hypersphere"[1]. It's the epitome of this sort of hyperliterature.

Disappointed.

Everybody knows that Apple's OS X is the most advanced and secure OS.

If Steve Jobs isn't one of the people who are responsible for protecting the Internet I don't know who else is.

It's hard to ignore the hint of irony here when it's the Westerners' turn to tout this line.

I hear this line getting trotted around a lot, mostly from people who have never used MIUI themselves.

MIUI is an "iOS-themed Android" as much as Ubuntu's Unity is an "OS X-themed Linux DE".

All his opinions should be discarded.

If people could stop being so paranoid about nothing (the data is anonimised before sent for goodness' sake) then technology can advance much easier and quicker.
