And you have been told, both by me and others, that I post both negative and positive articles on Apple. . . yet YOU ignore this and continue with the same litany above. . . repeatedly bashing me.
But when you post the negative article, you put a positive spin on it, *always.* That's the part I see, at least, that drew out the Baghdad Bob comparison. For example, below are the last ten "negative" postings on Apple you put up. Virtually all of them are spun to the point where - when juxtaposed like this - modest men would be embarrassed at the transparency of it all.
Article: Lots of Apple Watch Listings on eBay Are Attracting Zero Bids
Your translation: "eBay Apple Watch profiteers are not finding it easy picking to sell Apple Watches for huge windfall profits to eager early adopters."
Spin: This is not a lack of interest, this is failed profiteering.
Article: iPhone, iPad and Mac bug could allow hackers to remotely launch DoS attack
Your translation: "Kaspersky "finds" an already closed vulnerability in iOS 8 and OS X. This vulnerability was closed in the OS X.10.3 and iOS 8.3 updates . . . and it was included in Apple's list of security fixes. Quite an amazing "discovery" on Kaspersky's part."
Spin: Apple didn't make a mistake originally, they FIXED one already. They are so far ahead of the game, that I should mock Kaspersky by putting their "finds" in quotes. (But... uh... if you haven't upgraded already... you might wanna.)
Article: Apple iCult spurns Steve Jobs values: Ex-employee reveals 'toxic culture' at headquarters
Your translation: A single source article written by a journalist who has never had anything positive to say about Apple based on a screed from a blogger, supposedly written by an ex-Apple employee castigating the horrors of working in the slave driven iCult Apple headquarters. "Is it a coincidence that the new Apple Campus looks like a giant spaceship?" (Ben) Farrell wrote. "Maybe the plan is for everyone to drink poisoned 'Kool-Aid' before ascending to the mother ship." It certainly is FUD SEASON! — PING!
Spin: PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN. Obviously "FUD," your favorite acronym if the article is negative.
Article: Many Users Reporting Touch ID Not Working in App Store on iOS 8.3
Your translation: A small number of user of IPhone 5s, 6, 6plus and iPad Air 2 are reporting a minor bug with TouchID not working only with Apple's online store after upgrading to iOS 8.3. Anyone experiencing this? I just bought two iBooks using it with no problems PING!
Spin: Article says "many," but I will say "small" because I haven't personally experienced it! I will also be sure to categorize the bug as minor, even though "minor" bugs often go unreported. Stuff that affects user experience or blocks usage is actually categorized as Medium or higher in the IT world.
Article: Stanford Lecturer On Apple's Innovation Drought
Your translation: [Original Ping seems to be gone, but your comments speak for themselves. You dismiss everything in the article]
Spin: You basically dismiss the whole article.
Article: Italy prosecutors wrap up tax probe into Apple: sources
Your translation: "The Italian authorities have wrapped up their probe into Apple's tax practices. . . and found they are in compliance with the EU's Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development which established the rules of taxation between member countries. Italy was upset that the EU's taxation rules does not allow them to tax Apple unitarily in contravention of the EU laws — PING!"
Spin: This one is laughable, actually. The probe was for 2008-2013. Apple issued a statement about 2007-2009 and you twisted Apple's statement regarding that time frame to be the result of this investigation. Actually, with the inquiry complete, the article says they can now decide whether to prosecute. There is nothing in there that indicates a decision has been made by authorities that Apple was in compliance for the entire period investigated.
Article: Apple Posts Security Update 2015-003, iPhoto 9.6.1 Updates
Your translation: "Apple releases OS X 2015-003 Security update to fix a glitch in last week's Security patch OS X 2015-002. . . which did not quite get everything on all Macs. Also an update to iPhoto. — PING!"
Spin: Interestingly, you didn't have to spin this one too bad... because the very first lines of the article did it for you! "Don't these people ever rest???" It's not that Apple released something with a security flaw. It's that they fixed it. They're soooo diligent and lovely!
Article: Is Apple Cheating On The Dividends?
Your translation: "Another example of a CLICKBAIT article title that is not supported by the article itself. . . and this one did actual financial damage by implying evil intent to Apple in deciding the amount of the dividends the company pays. . . while the article is actually about Apple may be recalculating their dividend rate. Apple has been buying back stock as an alternate way of returning value to stockholders. The article is serious analysis, the title is FUD. — PING!"
Spin: The summary of the analysis actually indicates that Apple dividends ARE falling behind. Nonetheless, cue your favorite acronym - FUD!
Article: Apple Removes Intego's 'VirusBarrier' From iOS App Store, Says It's Misleading
Your translation: Apple is pulling iOS Anti-Virus apps from the Apple iOS App store because iOS is not susceptible to viruses. . . and the Apps only scan for non-iOS malware. . . and Apple decided that was misleading. — PING!
Spin: iOS is NOT SUSCEPTIBLE! LOL. Maybe current versions have patched, but not all devices are on the current version! 6 months ago - http://www.cnet.com/news/apple-ios-bug-lets-fake-apps-sneak-onto-iphones-ipads/ iOS was susceptible for this unknown threat then - who is to say what they don't know now?
Article: Chrome, Firefox, Explorer, Safari were all hacked at Pwn2Own contest
Your translation: All major browsers hacked in 2015 Pwn2Own White Hat Hacking including Safari, Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox — PING!
Spin: Well, no real spin here, but a favorite tactic of the Apple crowd. When a vulnerability is exposed, be quick to point out that all the others have vulnerabilities too. (This tactic has extended to Tim Cook's support of the a certain "agenda." The default position is to say, "They all do it!" rather than say, "He does support that, and I *do* disapprove and think it is wrong.")
That's just the last ten. I could keep going back and it would continue on for as long as you have been social marketing... uh... posting here. How could /anyone/ possibly think you act like Baghdad Bob, right?
