A quick check of most NYT issues will reveal *many* Microsoft or Microsoft-linked ads, and maybe one or two Apple ads - and those are usually iPod ads.
Bias? The NYT? Never. /sarc

Should they keep receiving free advertising from FR?

Don't worry, the New York Times' David Pogue can always be counted on to fellate Steve Jobs in a pinch. That's one man who loves his Apple retainerproducts!

I think it's more interesting that the "Mac Daily News" takes exception to the NY Times reporting any dissatisfaction with their beloved iPod than the repeating anti-iPod theme in NYT. Why does the "Mac Daily News" care so much?
Aside from the fact that I don't like the over-priced iTunes and feel I can get much more for my money (and I did), I have expressed each of the following sentiments towards the iPod myself at one time or another:
- I just didn't want to have the same MP3 player as everybody else and felt that there had to be equivalent or better players out there...
- I was kind of anti-iPod because everybody had it...
- It's not that I don't like it; I just don't like the whole cult mentality toward Apple. I don't like how everyone gravitates toward it immediately.
