<p>On a recent episode of TWiT’s This Week in Tech, GigaOM founder, Om Malik, had some harsh words for Apple’s upcoming Planet of the Apps reality TV show, attributing it to what he sees as disturbing lack of focus for the Cupertino-based company. Malik didn’t mince words when it came to discussing Apple’s perceived lack of focus, its Hollywood connections, and entertainment aspirations.</p>
<p>“You were asking me what is the problem with Apple? Not the lightning port — this kind of stupidity of building a TV show around apps. It’s like, what? Somebody needs to make friends in Hollywood and so we should do a show like this? This is just such nonsense. They should be building better products and not stupid TV shows around those products. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2016/08/10/om-malik-on-apples-upcoming-planet-of-the-apps-apple-should-be-building-better-products-not-stupid-tv-shows-around-those-products/#more-441801" class="more-link">more…[/url]</p>
