Pundit absurdly suggests booting Tim Cook and promoting Jony Ive
Depending on what you read, it may seem as if Apple as a company is being torn apart at the seams. No one’s buying iPhones anymore. iPhone 5 demand is waning. Samsung is the new king of the mountain. The company is doomed without Steve Jobs. Shares of Apple keep on plummeting. Indeed, there are no […]

Comments Off on Henry Blodget shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss theory of Apple stock manipulation
Earlier this week, a somewhat suspect story leaked claiming that Apple was reducing its iPhone 5 display orders by a factor of 50%. Since then, some folks are shouting that Apple’s best days are behind it while others are suspecting that there may be a bit of stock manipulation at work ahead of Apple’s earnings […]

Comments Off on Enderle is on crack, hypes up RIM
Really, Rob? Really?! As we look ahead to 2013, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the new year provides an unprecedented opportunity for Research in Motion to make a huge comeback. This is largely because the market is dominated by two platforms: Android, which is seen as an unsecure malware magnet, and iOS, which comes from […]

Comments Off on John Dvorak blames Apple for his woefully off-base iPhone predictions – Shocker
Back in March 2007, tech pundit John C. Dvorak wrote a column titled, “Apple should pull the plug on the iPhone.” As you might imagine, the thrust of the article was that Apple should pull the plug on the iPhone, with Dvorak explaining in vivid detail that Apple had no chance of success in the […]

Comments Off on In search of page views? Blame Apple for destroying jobs
A typical and hollow hit piece on Apple from the good folks over at Business Insider who do some “leg work” to determine all of the jobs Apple has destroyed by creating products that have left companies struggling to keep up, thereby creating layoffs across multiple industries. But what about the competitors Apple has bumped […]

Comments Off on Henry Blodget has no idea what he’s talking about when it comes to Apple
You might say this has been a long time coming, what with Henry Blodget’s steady stream of ill-informed posts coupled with shoddy, second-rate analysis. The most recent example isn’t the most egregious, but it’s the most recent, so here we go. A few days ago, Blodget wrote that Apple may really be in trouble. Despite […]

Comments Off on Apple and Super Bowl commercials
Did you catch that Apple ad during last night’s Super Bowl? Yeah, me either. But Lance Ulanoff of Mashable thinks they should have run one. For Apple, though, there is a bigger concern here. By not appearing at the Super Bowl, Apple is letting its competition frame the discussion. Founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, […]

Comments Off on From the “Forbes puts this drivel on its website?” department
Following the iPhone 4S announcement, Forbes had a remarkably vapid article disparaging Apple’s next-gen iPhone up on its website. Due on October 14, this remarkably sucky, shoddy, sloppy, slapped together disaster of a phone will undoubtedly receive huge sales, endless attention, and a fair amount of praise from Apple loyalists. But if you own an […]

Comments Off on Robert Scoble apologizes
Before Apple’s big iPhone media event this past Tuesday, Robert Scoble made a number of big predictions. First, he said Facebook would finally release its long-awaited iPad app. What’s more, Scoble said the level of Facebook’s cooperation with Apple was expansive and would literally shock people. Second, and much more tantalizing, Scoble claimed to have […]

Thursday, August 18, 2011
When Steve Jobs presented Apple’s plans to construct a new campus anchored by a spaceship style building, you could tell that Jobs was as passionate about the building itself as he is about Apple’s actual products. “There’s not a single straight piece of glass in this building,” Jobs said about the proposed 4-story high spherical […]

Comments Off on MG Siegler of TechCrunch and Adrian Chen of Gawker engage in online fight over “boring” tech news
Tech beefs are particularly funny because they’re unabashedly lame. The term keyboard warrior can be chalked up as a misnomer with the latter half of the word being more of an ironic statement than anything else. So move over “Twitter beef”, we have some Gawker/TechCrunch beef in the house.

Comments Off on Mashable’s attention-seeking and conspiratorial headline about Apple’s Data Center and Google Earth
As Apple’s massive data center in Maiden, North Carolina ramps up for operations, the huge structure is now visible in its current state via Google Maps and Google Earth. Of course, the images available via Google aren’t entirely new since video flybys of the property, perhaps unauthorized, have been floating around for a while now. […]
