Mac people can be real zealots and to them Apple is sacred ground and can do no wrong. This writer, however, feels that Apple, although a great company, can and does make mistakes as the recent introduction of the Mac Book Air indicates. Apple Matters recently ran a story about how horrible a product the Apple Mac Book air actually is and frankly it's about time that somebody told the king that he has no clothes. The MBA is a horrible overpriced product that is all show but you would never know this by going to sites like Mac Daily News that continue to talk about how great the MBA is. That's why Applematters.com is such a great site. They have no reservations about calling out Apples shortcomings. A recent story for example just ran on why .Mac is not such a great value and how users could find alternatives for a lot less money.


We need these fair balanced sites because Apple people are demanding and we hold Apple up to very high standards. They can and do make mistakes (Apple hi-fi for example) and they have done this by continually raising the bar higher with new products and product updates. Check out Applematters everyday and you will get a fair and balanced look at great and not so great things from Apple.
