Does the Media Love Apple Too Much? (Switched)

Jul 4th 2007 1:48PM Interesting read, though the "opportunity" of contrarianism sorta permeates. It's a fair question, though there are other ways to consider some of the gripes presented, such as the decision to go with "fast-enough" EDGE (wider coverage at rollout).

Juxtaposing the hypothetical polarity switch between MS and Apple, I still see Apple as the more interesting and facile company, resulting in more imaginary positive press. When you do things differently, you get talked about more. Imagine that.

It absolutely incenses some and mildly annoys more that the media takes such a favorable position with Apple, yet why should they NOT? Is there ANYONE ELSE who does as good a job marketing their products?

I mean, honestly. To the victor goes the spoils. MS gets the desktop, Apple gets the press. And you and me get the bill.

Language has a lot to do with it, IMO. "Liberation" from the oppressive hand of the mobile market? Hyperbole supreme, with a side order of "gag me", and I'm an "Apple Guy"™.

Anyway, I thought it was a good enough read to comment and bookmark.

Bill Simmons is my new hero (Blog Maverick)

Jun 21st 2006 10:51AM Ya know, as a Miami resident and Heat fan, I have pretty tremendous respect for the Mavericks as a talented team and for Mark as a business person and team owner. That said, I was greatly dissapointed by the whining and griping as the series went on. You do your excellent team a great disservice. My respect fizzled away fairly quickly and I don't disagree with the theory that it was largely responsible for the Mavs lack of performance in the clutch. The Mavs are a phenomenal team and Dallas should be proud that they accomplished so much this season. Terry is a BEAST and Dirk is a very exciting player to watch, even from section 117 in the AAA in white. Time to show some class, your players deserve it.
