Wall Street Journal On The Switch

An anonymous reader writes "Walt Mossberg, the Wall Street Journal's personal technology columnist, has long appreciated Macintosh, in a very unbiased, but still probably slightly business-oriented way. Today, in honor of tomorrow's "Panther" release, he has a very positive article in favor of "consumers and small businesses" switching for peace of mind. "If you're tired of the virus wars, the Mac can be an island of serenity.""

Mossberg, that shill?

Please, "unbiased", my ass. This guy will gush with praise about any product that's easy to use and free of bugs. Every time he reviews something with flaws, he feels like pointing them out.

Sometimes I read his column and all he talks about is "oh, this program was fun to use", or "I didn't like this music player because it was hard to operate and the battery cover broke off". Like any of that matters.

His constant annoying praise for Apple products is clearly due to the quality of the product and it's usefulness to the average consumer, and not due to any objective standard like how big Apple's cash position is or how man deals they've cut with other computer companies.

This kind of yellow journalism must be put to an end.

perhaps they should stick their nose to 'Wall Street' stuff and let sites like Ars[arstechnica.com] to provide factual review

You mean, quote, "Ars Technica - The PC enthusiast's resource", end quote? Sounds like an exellent place to find some unbiased information on Apple :-)
