Anyway, this week brought the Macalope a veritable smorgasbord of criticizable Apple coverage.

First we have PC World's Todd R. Weiss asking Yeah. Dying like a fox, Todd.

Which is probably not a good analogy since foxes get hunted with dogs and die kind of miserably, but you get the idea. The iPod may be slightly less important to Apple than it used to be, but it's still huge. Save the histrionics.

Then there's ZDNet's Zack Whittaker, who knows for a fact that the tablet that hasn't been introduced yet is . Zack, Zack, Zack! We ! Please, if you're not going to do the required reading, just drop the class.

Finally, in the realm of more annoying than irresponsible, CBS gave ex-future Apple CEO Jean-Louis Gassée to make lame "Jesus tablet" jokes (maybe they're funnier in French) and give us a history lesson about the Newton and how he started Be. It's not all about you, Jean-Louis!
