What to do when you run out of reasons to blame Apple – Scott Moritz style
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 [...]
Continue reading...Rob Enderle is a conspiratorial nutjob
Tuesday, June 1, 2010
There’s no denying that Rob Enderle lacks any semblance of intelligent thought when the topic turns to Apple. His track record of impressively atrocious predictions and illogical analyses is both extensive and well documented. In many ways, Enderle is sort of like a little kid. Every now and again he’ll say something ridiculous, and you [...]

Tuesday, April 20, 2010
We’ll have more on Gizmodo’s hipocracy in outing the Apple engineer who left his iPhone 4G at a bar, but quickly wanted to direct your attention to this bullshit post from Gizmodo editor Brian Lam advising Gray Powell to keep his head up. Hey man, I know things seem really tough right now. We had [...]

MacGregor Campbell of NewScientist writes re: the video of the 2.5 year old girl playing with an iPad: She will grow up in a world in which screens that don’t react to touch seem broken, and devices that cannot be anything at any time to anybody will be annoying at best. She will expect virtual [...]

I can’t lie. I’m a little jealous of The Sreet’s Scot Moritz. Okay, I’ll be honest. I’m really jealous of Scott Moritz. Dude probably gets paid a lot of money to discuss things clearly above his pay grade, and no matter how idiotic, nonsensical, and incoherent his ramblings are, he has a perplexing amount of [...]

Monday, March 1, 2010
Rob Enderle likes to tout himself as an “inquiry analyst”, a seemingly made up title that he defines as an analyst “paid to stay up to date on current events and identify trends and either explain the trends or make suggestions, tactical and strategic, on how to best take advantage of them.” In his capacity [...]
Continue reading...Is Jason Calacanis on crack?
Monday, February 15, 2010
Hours after Google unleashed Google Buzz into the wild, tech pundit Jason Calacanis penned a moronic article claiming that Google Buzz is brilliant, ground-breaking, and “game-changing brilliant.” In classic Calacanis fashion, he lists out a number of ridiculous arguments in a feeble attempt to back up his assertion. 1. Google Buzz 1.0 is better than [...]

Mike Davidson takes talking head Jason Calacanis to task for using his large Twitter following to dupe his readers into thinking that he got his hands on Apple’s iPad before the device was actually announced. If you’re familiar with Calacanis, then you probably already know that he’ll stoop as low as he needs to go [...]

Terry Gregory from AAPLinvestors has compiled an exhaustive list detailing all of the quotes from all of the naysayers who predicted that the iPhone wouldn’t have a chance. Here’s a sampling of some of the more memorable quotes from the bozos who uttered them. “We’ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out [...]

Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Tech pundit John C. Dvorak has somehow parlayed a talent for being wrong into a lucrative career as a tech analyst. Dvorak’s tech predictions are usually laughable, misinformed, and completely off-base. Below are some of his gems regarding the iPhone.

Friday, October 23, 2009
Just when you think Rob Enderle can’t get any dumber, he goes ahead and surprises you. At least he keeps things interesting, I guess. In his latest piece, Enderle writes how Microsoft “blinded vulnerable Apple with Windows 7″, as usual, it’s filled with the same backwards logic and asinine reasoning that have become dear ole’ [...]

Tuesday, October 20, 2009
This isn’t all that surprising really, but take a look at what CNBC talking head Jim Cramer had to say about Apple prior to their earnings announcement yesterday afternoon. “Your game plan next week is to buy Apple on weakness on Tuesday morning,” Jim Cramer said on Friday’s “Mad Money” TV show. He told viewers [...]

Wednesday, September 23, 2009
Over the past few weeks, New York Times tech journalist David Pogue has been singled out as someone with a conflict of interest to the extent that he makes a living publishing books about tech software like OS X, while at the same time, he’s tasked with objectively reviewing them. Two weeks ago, the Times [...]

Thursday, September 10, 2009
Dan Lyons might slowly be morphing into Rob Enderle before our very eyes. In a recent article about Snow Leopard, Lyons writes that things are amok over at Apple, an opinion he bases on “unimpressive reports on the performance of Snow Leopard.” Hmm, last time we checked, Snow Leopard has been getting glowing reviews at [...]

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter recenty told TG Daily “that Apple is unlikely to launch a game console before 2015,” and that Apple is “way behind Microsoft” when it comes to video games, and that it may never catch up. Wow, 2 words come to mind – No. Shit. Somehow this guy earns a paycheck [...]
