  • Editorial: Apple survived 2016's onslaught of fake news and failed competitors

    I don't like to bash journalists, but I think they deserve this hit piece. The problem is that the press needs engaged readers who come back every day to read their articles to sustain their business. With only two (or three) keynotes per year, Apple doesn't provide them with enough material to support their business. So, what do they do, they hype product and initiatives that don't have a chance in the marketplace. One example is Microsoft's Surface, an overpriced, clearly underpowered machine hailed as the next big thing in PCs. The problem is that with each article hyping a product that eventually flops, these journalists are losing their only asset, their credibility. I hope they get to read this article and that they analyze how they can improve  in 2017.
    It seems to me that with a clickbait economy supporting journalism, we arrive at the same terminus with politics supported by private interests: a huge mess. As for the people who seem to feed of those hype-centric articles, their objectives seem to be about finding the scape goat for their hatred, as opposed to anything rational or logical.

    I wish more journalists would turn the tide, such as DED, and start identifying each other's major failings of the past and beating up on each other, rather than on Apple.

    Great work, DED! If there is a perfectly clear example of false information and fake news, we can easily look to WSJ, Wired, Verge and CNET and compare their past reports to see how such things are built and perpetrated.

    New Years is so much more satisfying with vindication via your yearly articles. Can't wait to read 'The Year of Apple: 2017'!

  • Gooligan malware roots 1M Android phones in "largest Google account breach to date"

    Hahahaha - suck it up, goog!
    So glad all those paid- and/or hatred jerks convinced so many that Apple was evil/failing/not to be trusted. Goog really is eating its own dog food now. All those people mislead by the stigma promulgated against the walled garden of iOS can more thoroughly experience the benefits of a pseudo-open operating system.

    And good luck to em!

  • Apple hires Wired magazine creative director to design team

    Maybe this is Apple finally taking revenge against all the shite Wired has printed about Apple over the years...
