Probably because he has such a shitty beat to cover. Unless you were referring to me, in which case I have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about.

Regarding the Spotlight search that didn’t, I had that recently, too, on a poorly constructed app from a company that clearly caters to Windows primarily. Interestingly, while Spotlight (command+space) wouldn’t find the app, Launchpad (under 10.8) found it by typing the first few letters of the app name!

Yes, it should be. Thanks. The editor obviously needs to be reprimanded. I’ll bring it up the next time I look in the mirror.

Comment on So Dan Lyons is Changing Jobs Again? by JT

I like that you used the word “work” to describe a career lamprey whose only literary contributions consist of those siphoned from Steve Jobs accomplishments until his death. It’s too bad people are so tuned-in to his schtick now that he can’t make a living banging his little anti-Apple drum. Bet he really misses those FSJ salad years when he thought the sky was the limit for his career.

What I’ve accomplished is not really relevant – or in any way related to what I write. As far as this blog, I’ll tell you what I won’t accomplish: I won’t manufacture garbage for the sake of driving traffic, nor will I insult my readers’ intelligence by presenting disingenuous fucktards as anything but. You can read it or not – your choice. You can comment or not – judging by your one contribution, I honestly couldn’t care less.

Aren’t you a little cookie full of arsenic! Exactly what have you accomplished, except to demonstrate a juvenile talent for excoriating another man’s work with a lot of pottymouthed insults?

Comment on Steve Jobs Broke His iCloud Promise, Except That He Didn’t Make It by JT

Whenever I see an abundance of unsourced quotes, I hear alarm bells. When you’re quoted off the record, you’re free to say anything, push any agenda in a way that shows the issue doesn’t mean enough to you to sign your name to it. The potential for abuse is just too great. Unfortunately, Gruber and Darlymple don’t have a problem with it, so it gets linked and retweeted as if it’s a statement of fact. Then again, those 2 are far more successful, so I’m doing something wrong.

Thanks for doing the often unsavory work of fact checking these muck-rakers. Shame on Verge for not keeping up standards.

The quality of everyone who isn’t independent/solo sure seems to be suffering lately.
