names a bunch of non-apple centric writers
I've named almost every other major blogger in the tech industry. How about this, give me a list of the apple-centric bloggers and I'll tell you who are the evangelists and who isn't. Since apparently you don't like my list.
Come off of it.
Don't be a jerk, jerk. And I don't read Mongol blogs.
Edit: Thanks for the apology. I also apologize for escalating. I actually think your Jordan analogy is quite good. But I think also spells out the difference, at least in my eyes.
I also view Jordan as the greatest of all-time. With that said, I didn't gloat when he did well. I was in awe of him, but I wasn't a cheerleader. I'd vote for him as MVP, but I wouldn't cherish Karl Malone never winning it. I wouldn't call Malone a lesser player in order to prop Jordan up as a better player. I wouldn't downplay what Magic or Bird did to recognize that Jordan was still the greatest.
I feel like these three would cheer about Karl Malone getting injured a knee or Magic catching HIV if it meant that it would strengthen Jordan's position as best ever.
This is probably most obvious in the tablet space. You'll see some bloggers noting that the iPad dominates. No question about that, but you'll begin to see a split between those who are looking forward to what Android and Windows have in store for the future, versus those who are just outright dismissive that there is or ever will be anything to compete against the iPad. And in fact downplay anything that might actually be even slightly competitive, ala the Kindle Fire.
I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that they exist. They provide a viewpoint, and there's enough viewpoints to go around. But I think we should call it out so its obvious to those reading it.
