Media Loves Apple and Its Army of Fans

cgriffin21 writes "Apple is getting more media attention right now than any other technology company, including Google. Microsoft, meanwhile, is languishing in the shadows like Cinderella on the night of the ball. That's the upshot of a study released Monday (PDF) by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism, which found that Apple was the focus of 15.1 percent of media coverage between June 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010. Google received 11.4 percent of media coverage during the period, while Microsoft garnered just 3 percent."

    The notion that Apple "focuses on the user experience" quickly seems absurd
    as soon as you try to do anything that Apple didn't account for or is actually
    trying to prevent.

    You're confusing offering a great user experience with offering every feature ever invented. Apple is focused on what they perceive to be a very positive user experience. And based on user satisfaction they're very good at it. Many people actually like the walled garden.
