I hate inaccurate journalists as much as the next guy, but I think you're being a bit hyperbolic on a single adjective while also misreading it. I think they mean it's the sluggish sales they are struggling with, not a struggling company.

- kodablah 8y agoThey are struggling with something, not themselves struggling (I shouldn't have said adjective earlier, that is used as a verb it's different). Either way, with the really bad journalism these days about tech companies, this specific pedantry is hardly notable.
- zapzupnz 8y agoI don't agree. Every instance of the tech press using their one weapon, language, to do what they've always done — lazily yet consistently spell the doom of so-and-so company — is always worth a mention. Ignoring one symptom of a cold doesn't make the cold go away.
