Macalope’s look at the 10 biggest Apple fools of the past year
April Fools Day on the blogosphere always brings with it an assortment of jokes and spoofs that range from the annoyingly stupid to cleverly brilliant. Of course, there are always a never ending supply of moronic tech pundits who spew nonsense so consistently that you’d think every one of their posts is an April Fools Day goof. […]

Comments Off on Microsoft research and strategy officer Craig Mundie not sure the tablet market has staying power
It’s an interesting and counter-intuitive strategy. Reference a popular product that your company simply can’t compete with and question the staying power of said product. It’s an easy strategy, no doubt, and is a heck of a lot easier than actually delivering a compelling product yourself. And that’s apparently the mindset over in Redmond these […]

Comments Off on From the “How did this get published?” department
How this stuff gets printed is beyond me. It’s utter trash, really, and the epitome of lazy journalism. Writing for PC Mag, Will Greenwald comes up with 5 reasons not to buy the iPad 2. Without question, Greenwald devoted zero time to thinking about the iPad 2, as evidenced by his haphazardly assembled list that […]

It’s official folks, Rob Enderle has jumped the shark – which speaks volumes if you’ve actually read some of Enderle’s clumsy writing before.

Comments Off on Sign #421 that people will write anything just to reference Apple
Wayne Rash clumsily writes that the timing of Apple’s upcoming March 2 iPad announcement was plotted with the intention of spoiling the new Motorola Xoom tablet. The announcement by Verizon Wireless that the Xoom will ship on Feb. 24 was followed almost immediately by an invitation by Apple to a press announcement in San Francisco […]

Monday, February 7, 2011
John, John, John – it’s hard to know where to even start. While Apple fans are used to the nonsensical ramblings of John Dvorak, his odd points of view and strange assertions exist far beyond the realm of Apple. In his most recent article, Dvorak argues that lukewarm sales of Windows Phone 7 drive home the fact […]

Comments Off on Must be cool in Hell this time of year
The Street, home to dubious analysts like Jim Cramer and Scott Moritz recently put out their list compiling the top 10 most innovative companies of 2010. So who topped the charts – Apple? Google? Some obscure technology company with an ultra-cool product? Negative on all counts. Why the most innovative company in 2010, according to […]
Continue reading...John Gruber destroys Dan Lyons
Friday, July 23, 2010
A brilliant piece by John Gruber of Daring Fireball utterly demoloshing the fool that is Dan Lyons. Now as opposed to other pundits like Rob Enderle and Scott Mortiz, Lyons actually has some intellect at his disposal. The thing is, Lyons has a personal axe to grind with Apple, a fact which often results in […]

Comments Off on A year full of Apple pessimists and illogical tomfoolery
From Rob Enderle to Joe Wilcox, there’s unfortunately no shortage of misinformed and ill-reasoned tech pundits out on the web. Back in April, Macworld published some of the more asinine predictions and observations made about Apple in the 12 months preceding the iPad launch. It’s an entertaining read, and all your favorite pundits make the […]

Monday, July 5, 2010
In the ongoing race to determine which tech pundit lacks the most brain cells, Rob Enderle and Scott Moritz are not surprisingly neck and neck. But seeing as we consistently give Enderle a tough time, we thought we’d give him a break and focus on the latest drivel spewing from the pen of the Moritz. […]

Friday, June 25, 2010
Incapable tech pundits like John Dvorak and Rob Enderle love minimizing and dismissing Apple’s achievements as a byproduct of luck while simultaneously pumping up competing products from the likes of Microsoft and Dell that typically have little, if any, effect on the marketplace. But there’s only so long these pundits can tout a new iPod/iPhone […]
Continue reading...Is Dan Lyons the best Newsweek can do?
Thursday, June 10, 2010
Newsweek tech writer Dan Lyons and Apple aren’t exactly the best of friends. Apple has given Lyons, who you might also know as the Fake Steve Jobs, absolutely no access to Apple since he assumed tech editing duties at the publication in 2008. In other words, Newsweek has never gotten a pre-release Apple product to […]
