#2I think this article is written with a little too much emotion. I agree with the general point that Apple have left a lot on the table by offering basically nothing for the enthusiast, and arguing that "This is for professionals" isn't an answer to "But this does nothing for the enthusiasts". I don't like the language this article uses to make those points - do not use the term 'beaten housewife' in a tech review ever.
It's true it's an ongoing sore that Apple can continually fuck up and expect people to pretend they haven't. The keyboards were a fuck up, the old Mac Pro was a fuck up. A little bit of candor about that wouldn't go amiss.

This is what happens when corporations are seen as religions by their customers. You can't fault apple taking advantage of it.

So ‘fuck up’ is fine, and 'beaten housewife’ is a no-no in tech. Is that also detrimental to the general (and all specific other) points?!?

It’s a litte like saying: ‘If you are bullied and are too afraid to report the bully to the police, you deserve to be bullied’… The world kinda evolved, you know? It’s not like in the far west with the cowboys and stuff.

A generation of flagship Samsung phones started on fire, but that’s not really relevant when considering current products. And why should it be? Poor products in the past don’t make current products any worse, and good products in the past don’t make current products any better.

I understand what you are saying but I know a lot of people who can't see Apple's mistakes or bad product launches no matter what - those people yes deserved to be bullied.

How much more candor can you get that the previous Mac Pro was a mistake than the apology press briefing they had two years ago basically admitting just that?
