Let’s put our list on a slowly loading slide show, because we don’t like scrolling down web pages. We really don’t like it. But we like horizontal scrolling. Yes, we like that fine, just so you have to click 10 times to RTFA.

This is what print journalism committing suicide looks like.
So, Gruber links to Ihnatko’s overly long, overly styled Sun-Times piece on the death of Macworld Expo. Shortly thereafter, Gruber links to Faruk Ateş’s excellent piece which calls Andy out on his assertion that every “game-changing” Apple announcement has been made at Macworld on a Tuesday morning, while noting that contrary to Ihnatko’s original claim the original iMac was not introduced at Macworld.
So, then Ihnatko comments on Ateş’s post: “Good catch on the iPod. The rest I think are a matter of opinion.” I agree with Faruk – calling the iTunes Store a “matter of opinion” sounds like the cream in someone’s Boston Creme Pie went sour.
