You aren't paying attention if you think I post only cherry picked positive articles on Apple. I post positive, neutral, and negative articles, anything that concerns Apple and its products that might be of interest to the over 725 members of the ping list. I don't just cherry pick the good stuff. I just posted this extremely negative article last night. there are lots more. It too is FUD.
I'm surprised you don't know that term. It's been around for years ever since Microsoft firs used the technique it represents against Apple in the 1980s. FUD is an acronym for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt about a company or a product usually orchestrated by a competitor or competitors. Apple is usually the target of FUD. . . and the FUD engines get revved up three to four weeks before any major Apple announcement or product release. There are numerous marketing studies demonstrating this. Astroturfing articles commission like the two almost identical articles extracting pull quotes of negativity from generally glowing reviews of the Apple Watch to make it appear as if the reviewers were completely negative to people who had not actually read the real reviews. That's FUD. WHO DOES REVIEWS OF REVIEWS? Shills Astroturfing FUD paid by the competition who are running scared of the new product, that's who.
My replies are not confusing except for people trying to characterize me as stupid. Alinsky's rules for radicals 5 and 12. You guys don't do it very well. I'm not frozen, and your attempts at ridicule are pathetic.
Ask any of the 700 plus members of the ping list if my posts or replies are at all confusing to them.
I'm surprised you don't know that term.Only Apple Fanboys take for granted that normal people know off-the-cuff what FUD means... and only Apple Fanboys use it three times in two sentences (along with a Samsung conspiracy nut theory) - LoL!
Interesting FUD article. . . taking minor negative quibble quotes out of context from generally positive reviews to make this FUD article you linked to which I have no doubt was commissioned by Samsung. Try reading the REAL reviews from reviewers all of whom have actually used the Apple Watch for a week for better balance than your cherry picked negative comment FUD article .But anyway, the link I posted is most definitely not FUD, as it is stated that all the negative issues are things that can be fixed/improved.
You are confusing because you more than once replied to me that the item I posted was "already posted", even though it was not. You post your own ping statement in italics and use FUD in a hysterical way as if normal people know what that is. I don’t think you are stupid. Like the Apple Watch you just require improvements (good luck telling a Fanboy that).
Btw why do you ping others to me?
Do you have a crazy application of Alinsky's rules for radicals about that?
Perhaps I should say that APPLE WATCH is NOT a watch but a WRIST COMPUTER with hundreds of apps for it (soon to be thousands) and “ONE” do those apps happens to be a watch-face!
And a check of the app store shows less than 50 apps actually available
Though we generally associate FUD with Microsoft these days, it's origin actually predates them by a fair bit. The term was originally coined about IBM, in relation to their other mainframe competitors. I'll probably get it wrong, but I think Honeywell was one of their big competitors at the time (50s-70s).
