NYT reporter Pogue responds to pros concerns
-
His article is also filled with “Apple says…” references. Unless I have missed it Apple
has made no official (or even unofficial) comment on this situation.bigpine

[TImothy Auld] “His article is also filled with “Apple says…” references. Unless I have missed it Apple

Shameless spin, in my view.
I don’t actually feel strongly about the product either way (it’s frankly neither awesome nor awful which is pretty damning after all the hype) but I am utterly contemptuous of the way Apple has tried to spin its way out of this. I hope more of the mainstream press picks up on how badly this has damaged the company’s credibility – and that the stock value takes an appropriate bashing. Sorry to any of you with Apple stock!

[Bret Williams] “Wow. Really shows how little he knows about the subject at hand. Comments like “editors feel tvs offer better color fidelity” are ridiculous. They display video. Computer monitors do not display video.”
Apple has said it’s just an extension…
Ya, no marching orders from Apple. He just doesn’t understand the subject he was paid to write about…

Simon, if you think Apple’s stock is taking a dive over this you are utterly mistaken.
Apple knows its business. They calculated the collateral damage of losing the high end video market and decided to roll with it anyway.

With respect to everyone here, I have seen only far weaker answers posted here than this guy makes to all the objections. I’m not saying his answers are entirely accurate (he’s a journalist, right? and he can’t transcribe a press release properly or take proper notes at a briefing whichever it is) but they are detailed and precise and “to the point”.
None of the talented Apple apologists on this forum have had anything like as much ammunition to throw back into the battle.
OK, so he misheard the point about OMF export, I don’t think that proves a thing.
Hateful all the same!

Jamie,
Did you happen to notice the newspaper he works for? It’s distribution? It’s influence?
Let’s leave the understanding of errors to lesser publications.bigpine

No, I know it won’t much much of a dent – just hoping really! Though like any corporation it matters to them a great deal what gets printed on the business pages and who knows this might have some small impact on the stock price – for a day or two!

And it glaringly omitted basic realities…whatever though. His last paragraph was shameless and to the point alright…

David Pogue has sold more than a few books promoting and educating people about low-end Macintosh applications (like iLife).
So consider the source and his motivations.
