Within hours of Apple’s media event today, Dan Lyons published an article for Newsweek asserting that the new Apple laptops aren’t worth the hype. That’s all well and good, and he’s entitled to his opinion, but it’s problematic if that opinion is seemingly pre-conceived. What I find troubling is that Lyons essentially glosses over the […]
