Remember, guys, their testing consists of visiting a series of web sites over and over until the battery dies.  If that were my approach, I would definitely disable the cache. 

I don't know. This article makes me slightly uncomfortable. It's all technically true, but DED turns a blind eye to recent events that cause deep concern among mac fans. A new MacBook Pro that was panned by CR? A Mac Pro with no updates since 2013?  I don't think people are looking for unreasonable levels of innovation when they talk about how "Apple has left them" before buying a Windows machine, and I'm pretty sure Apple could have led in BT headphones without the Beats purchase.  

I think, on balance, Apple does get the shaft by many so-called journalists; but this is not a religion, and Apple faces challenges that, when ignored by the author, make it difficult to take his writing seriously. 

This lawsuit isn't going anywhere.  I was going to phrase it differently, but thought that would be in poor taste.

i'm waiting for the doom after the 8 is released? "What's left for innovation?" will continue on for perpetuity 

Ha!  You're so right.  The big story will be how the only place to go from here is down.

I love the headline, "absent an Apple alternative", as though readers of this forum have never been exposed to the frustrations and limitations (and ultimately, disappointment) of Siri. It remains to be seen whether Apple's version of this would be competitive on price or capability (see MacBook Pro).
