Also, I wonder if Apple Park isn’t simply named that because most of it is a PARK, with grass, bushes, trees, and paths for walking and bicycle riding, just like a - park.
There are many definitions of park, bu the simplest is common one that uses an adjective or noun modifier, like industrial park, for an area devoted to a specified purpose. This is Apple Park, which means it's an area devoted to Apple.
Yeah, we kinda know that. But it’s also, like, a real park.
DED simply can’t write a positive article about Apple without saying something nasty about its competitors. Also, I wonder if Apple Park isn’t simply named that because most of it is a PARK, with grass, bushes, trees, and paths for walking and bicycle riding, just like a - park.
Dan is pointing out the imbalance in criticism of Apple versus its competitors. There has been criticism of Apple that they are wasting money and resources, time and energy building Apple Park, that they "should" have been spending on design of new products, while Google and MS have blown billions of dollars on acquisitions that have cost them dearly. And yet they have not paid for their miscues in the sense of stock valuations and negative media attention.
Keep writing, Dan! Your takes on tech and Apple are right on the nose and fun to read.
DED doesn’t have to do that in an Apple centric site. Except for a very small number of trolls that we attract, we’re all in the same ballpark on Apple here. If people really need to read those put downs to make themselves feel better, then they have problems.
he also tends to exaggerate, and simply gets things wrong.

That's his signature style. It's his nickel, let him spend it.
Thanks DED, once again. I always love how you pick the comment blister open!
Many people criticised this project, amazing when Apple does the right thing, the collective memory forgets the criticism in the end...next up...ditching the headphone jack criticism..."i don't recall anyone saying that was a bad idea."

It bothers me, and some others, because it’s isnt necessary. Apple can stand on their own.
