Apple Dealers Slighted By Company Stores

    The fact that there are NO verifiable sources offered. The whole situation has been getting blown out of proportion by CNET. Their articles lately have had a major MS lean to them. I want to know who these analysts are that are never reprimanded for misinterpreting the facts and tehn reporting their bad findings to the public. They "speculate" that there is an LCD shortage and that is why Apple isn't shipping as they were expected to ship. Didn't Apple buy an enormous number of LCDs near the end of last year? Why have these analysts forgotten that? I would like to see some hard numbers rather than all this wild speculation and rumor-mongering that CNET has been doing lately. Anybody else notice that they took all the QT related streams down? How about the complete dropping of Macintosh related software from their DOWNLOAD.com? CNET isn't worth getting worked up over anymore.
