Maybe the way they win is by being nice and spreading the niceness and good will around as much as they can?
There is always a positive way to criticize and inspire someone to reach the potential of their talents. Sadly, not everyone has the patience or knowledge that's needed to make it happen.

Hear hear. The cynic in me liked Uncov (if only for the fact that Ted at times seemed to be the only thing preventing a startup from trying to market a kernel written in JavaScript). It was entertaining from time to time, sure, but always at someone's expense.
Time's big Web 2.0 love-fest a year or so ago was cool (if over the top):
"It's a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before...It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes."
My Internet's powered by love and good coffee and that "Birds and the Bees" song from the Volkswagen Rabbit commercial two summers ago.

For those that think the anonymous comment was mine. 1) You clearly are fucking stupid, since I claim everything I say; and 2) you clearly are fucking stupid, so I need to repeat myself.
Andrew, its an awful thing to tie what people do to their definition as a person. The truth is that is not WHAT you do that defines the person, it is HOW you do it.
Its that subtle distinction that makes all the difference.
