"I’m not sure, but I think all of this breathless, quivering excitement over the recent Apple and Zune announcements signals a lack of depth to these brands, and a need to get on with growing up."I think the mistake is in seeing these blogs as news sources. They are not. Many of the "stories" are filled with bias and sensationalism some of the better ones can do a decent job, but many are just one mans (and some of his buddies) personal soapbox.They are more akin to tabloids.
