@dennyhenke I read this, too, and agree with the points you make. I hadn’t realized how these seem to pop up more when the tech news cycle is slow. I think you’re right: these are all about clicks, drama, and “engagement.”

I could have just as easily written a post called “Travel and the Mac” and talked about how the Mac just doesn’t cut it: i.e. it’s so big and heavy, I had to write up my ideas for my next post using the keyboard instead of my pencil, I had to edit my photos using a mouse instead of my finger, I kept losing my train of thought because my windows were all stacked on top of each other, I had to read the news with the Mac on my lap and far away from my aging eyes, etc. etc.

It’s kind of sad that these so-called pundits can’t be happy with their choice of tools and let others be the same with theirs.
