I find the tablet market right now to be both very interesting and very infuriating at the same time. You have Microsoft floundering with the Surface. The Kindle Fire, supposedly the next highest selling tablet to the iPad, is not even in Apple's rearview mirror anymore, and Samsung's Galaxy line of tablets (phones too, but that's just even more maddening to think about), contrary to what Samsung would have you believe, aren't even selling as well as the Fire.

Yet the headlines on most news sites are "Apple is doomed, the competition is catching up, Microsoft is poised to take over, Android is winning!" All this really is is the iPod story all over again. Apple does it best, its competitors copy and flood the channel with clones, and eventually people realize the clones are mostly crap. The very loud, annoying, vocal minority of geeks on the internet rip Apple to shreds while Joe Schmoe just buys the high quality, reliable, easy to use Apple product.

I'm an Apple guy, but the media that covers Apple makes me want to quit the internet. But I won't, because now I want to go find all the articles from last summer saying that the Surface was an iPad killer. I'm coming after you first, CNET.
