Too Much Good Press?

Jack Shafer at Slate thinks Apple is getting too much good press. What's funny is that the world "beleaguered" doesn't show up once in his article. This of course is the world that "the press" hung around Apple's neck in every pre-iPod article. Remember when Michael Dell said that Apple should shut it's doors and give the money back to the shareholders? Yeah, I remember those days. I'm not bitter.

Mr Shafer even closes the story with a veiled plea to not get flamed, because he doesn't hate the player, just the game.

I'm eager to hear from all of you dear pod people, but before you e-mail me at slate.pressbox@gmail.com, please note that the target of this article is not your beloved Apple gadgets but press coverage.

I'm not having much luck finding all the sympathy stories for when Apple was getting crazy bad press. There is, of course, a podcast of the story. Good lord...
