I didn't say it's a good product. I said 3million iPads sold the first weekend the mini and the 4th-Gen iPad debuted, yet Brian turned that to a negative. He reported it suggesting Apple was concealing iPad Mini's sales numbers because they're low. In reality, Apple never publishes sales figures for individual devices

But any author who makes a positive comment about Apple on Gizmodo is labeled a fanboy. Likewise, any author who makes a negative comment about android is labeled a fanboy. I can't say whether or not all of your Apple articles spin any sort of news negative, but lately there's been a noticeable pattern emerging.

by are, I mean aren't. As in "aren't mutually exclusive."

While I'd say that Brian probably has no business reviewing Apple products (no offense), I don't see any self-contradicting going on. He gave positives and even more negatives, but those opinions are mutually exclusive.

We all knew the iPad mini had its shortcomings as soon as it was announced, but you should only buy the mini if you're "desperate" and have "thousands of dollars sunk into iOS," eh? I'm not saying this is a terrible review. But really? Why is Brian reviewing this? I'm sure he's a nice guy, but he has a history of…

Yeah, let me refer you to the headline. "Apple Only Pays 1.9 Percent Tax Outside the US." Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that means the 1.9% is what Apple pays outside the US, not in the US, as you're asserting.

By articulate I meant particular.

Apple doesn't disclose sales figures for individual models. This article is a non-story. Not breaking down sales numbers is business as usual for Apple. So why is this news Giz?

Congrats on being employed.

What do our US politicians have to do with the tax rate Apple pays abroad? This article is saying that Apple pays the 35% tax in the US, but an average of 1.9% abroad. The takeaway is that the US charges a prohibitively high tax rate. Thus, Apple, like every multinational doing business in the US, keeps as much money…

Apple doesn't disclose sales figures for individual models. Nothing to do with this articulate launch.

You haven't said anything really counter to what I said; we pretty much agree. I should add that Amazon prices their device the way it does, because that's the only way to get their devices in the hands of consumers. I understand that they're choosing to recoup money from their content business, but if that business…

The bill of materials isn't the only thing that makes up the cost of a device. These companies have to look at the overall experience of the device, and consider what consumers would be willing to pay, in order to price their products; hardware alone isn't everything. Amazon's not the only company with R&D and…

Personally, I don't think the iPad mini is overpriced. I think Google and Amazon need to price their devices low in order to convince consumers to buy their products. By sacrificing profits from hardware sales, the two companies, essentially, are paying consumers to buy their products. However, time will tell if the…

Yes, you're forgiven. I agree the articles more to blame.

I said "at first glance" meaning upon closer inspection I can see the difference. Even a Samsung lawyer couldn't tell the difference between the Samsung tablet and the iPad when asked to distinguish the two. The problem with copying the look and feel is that people think they are either getting an iPod when they…

That's great. I was just saying that my preference is the all-in-one, because it's declutters everything; I need much less desk and mess with an all-in-one.

You don't think that about Amazon? So you're only okay with sub poverty level wages if the savings are passed on to the consumer? Amazon also manufactures in the same factories Apple uses in China. My point was that labor conditions have and are significantly improving, yet busy bodies here still complain. Foxconn…

Check your facts. Court didn't order an apology. Can't believe everything you read here.
