John Gruber had a great post today about how the media jumps on stories that reflect poorly on Apple. I agree wholeheartedly with his points. It’s like the mainstream media are waiting with bated breath for the slightest mishap so they can bash Apple. A lot of times, they are just plain wrong.
Meanwhile Google left an I/O problem in its Nexus tablet for a year and nary a mention from the press.
everyone have their tin-foil hats on? mainstream media also reported 9/11 was a terrorist attack, that’s right folks, we in fact did not ram our own planes into our own buildings
While I agree with Gruber about the tech press (which is mostly crap), I would also draw attention to great Aussie dev team Shifty Jelly’s point that Gruber also falls victim to tribalism: http://blog.shiftyjelly.com/2013/08/01/ios-vs-android-great-balls-of-fire/ They’re right.
