The Macalope Weekly: Outlandish claims

31.03.2012

Reasonable people may disagree (looks pretty cool to the Macalope), but let’s rush over to and, yep, that logo is nowhere to be found. Next?

Appl [sic] still produces insane-popular gadgets, but no longer wows reviewers like it once did.

Really? Which reviewers? Greenfield doesn’t provide any links, she just states it as given. There is a set of reviewers who will never like anything Apple ships. There is also a tendency by other reviewers to nitpick Apple products in an attempt to find a false “balance” with other crappier products. Ultimately, though, whatever the reviews, consumers still love Apple products.

Though the Foxconn protesters that threatened mass suicide back in January made Microsoft’s XBox, thanks to Mike Daisey and Apple’s financial successes, Apple not Microsoft absorbed most of the bad PR.

So, wait. Your “cool, hip” company was actually the one that should have been tied to the incident, but because of an inveterate liar it was Apple, so Microsoft is cooler than Apple. That’s your argument? You’re really going with that?
