The Macalope Weekly: Unreasonable expectations
Apple disappoints Wall Street so you know it’s going to be “one of those weeks” (read: just like every week). First, we’ll take a look at a very reasonable comparison between the Microsoft Surface Pro and the MacBook Air; then, let’s sit back as “dude who writes on the Internet” tells us what Apple needs to do to fix itself. Finally, we’ll talk about what unprecedented dire straits Apple finds itself in. Again.
Is this a joke?
Every once in a while, when the Macalope is reading a particularly ridiculous piece of punditry, he has to look around to make sure he’s not being filmed. Such was his reaction on reading Matt Burns’s paean to the Surface Pro, at TechCrunch.
“At $1,018*, The Surface Pro Is Priced Just Right”
Like so many, Burns is a repeat offender. Kind of makes the Macalope wish there was a three strikes law for lousy punditry about Apple. Then we’d only have to sit through one more of these before he was sent to pound rocks somewhere unpleasant.
