Sure would be cool if Ars had someone to cover Google who didn't hate Google and every Google product. There have been some pretty minor iOS releases but each and every one of them got a 90-page review by a person who was actually interested in the product.
I only just started using Android yesterday after many years away, and as a reader I would have appreciated more information and less detached snark.
- flutas 3y agoFor better or worse...that's Ron's whole personality. He used to be good at holding the manufacturers a little bit responsible using it back in the A.P. (not _that_ AP) days, now it just feels like every article is "why does google hate you? These features are why." I don't know the full situation, it could be because of Ars' editing policies, or it could be any number of factors. Me saying this isn't to knock him, just that I don't enjoy his writing on Ars.
- edrxty 3y agoSure, but it seems pretty clear that Google __does__ hate you so it doesn't exactly feel misplaced.
- worthless-trash 3y agoSometimes, its easier just to ignore certain editors on Ars.
- alwaysrunning 3y agoIt's always been amazing to me the 'apple blindness' that goes on. They really can do almost no wrong and everything is almost magical. Fortunately, for most readers here we don't need someone else to tell us what crap this "upgrade" was, but I agree it would be nice to get unbiased reviews, but it is owned by Conde Nast so I wouldn't expect it to change.
- solarkraft 3y agoMaybe I could be the Ron of the Apple world. I use Apple products because they probably suck the least, but I can tell you a lot of ways in which they suck.
