Spreading FUD, Apple Style

Apple reported another blockbuster quarter yesterday (my WinInfo article will be up later today), primarily on the strength of first-wave iPhone 3G sales.

LOL. Talk about not being on the ball. You’re just now wondering what’s up with Apple’s deceptive advertising ? Geesh. AT&T 3G iPhone users are using much less bandwidth than AT&T expected because AT&T's 3G iPhone service is so crappy. Dan recently got a software update from Apple that...

You know MobileMe is a piece of junk when ... (Updated)

This one reads like a Jeff Foxworthy (of "you know you're a redneck when..." fame) joke. As in, you know MobileMe is a piece of @#$% when even Walter Mossberg, the world's most prominent support of Apple products, can't find anything good to say about it . I look back, smiling,...

Apple bores at Microsoft-esque WWDC keynote

Yikes. Most Steve Jobs keynotes are entertaining and interesting. But Apple proved at today's WWDC keynote that it can be every bit as boring and repetitive as Microsoft is at its own keynote events. Consider the following walk-through of today's event, summarized for your convenience: Jobs:...
