You seem to be trying to present yourself as the victim a bit here, I can't fathom why. Both the writers and the (majority of) the readers like apple, by no means exclusively, but often the whole site will revolve around the company for a day or two.

None of the article to my mind presents any agenda, or any feelings particularly strong besides "isn't this keyboard nice." I agree with your last paragraph.]]>Jan 19th 2009 3:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/
Can you read/use you eyes a all?

The guy who made it said "This keyboard was going into a Mac environment"; I don't know what other credit you may want. Plus, the keyboard has Apple keys and configuration... perhaps an indication that it is to be used with a Mac?

Second, the keyboard "will not be sold", because there will be no mass production. The "could stand to be commercialized" was made up by Mr. Murph, as the "fact" the it would sell like hot cakes, which I very much doubt, given that if *he* read the original site, he would have discovered these "are custom made and usually sell for about $1200 - $1500".



Both "accents will nicely match the Mac it's paired with" come from ]]>Jan 19th 2009 4:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/
First everyone complains that Engadget loves apple and now you all are saying that the staff is switching sides to please readers? I would hate to be a writer here; they cannot say shit without a ton of people bitching about it. Go somewhere else for gadget news please.]]>Jan 19th 2009 4:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/
Can you read?

The guy(s) who made it weren't the one's who decided it was going into a Mac environment, at least that is all that can be assumed from anything said. They weren't the ones who "industrialized" it. Because we know it was modified by the person selling the keyboard, you cannot assume that the only thing that was changed was the aluminum casing. Therefore you cannot assume that the original creator had the intention of this being for the Mac. Until they say they built it with the Mac specifically in mind, you cannot claim this was intended as anything other than a generic keyboard. I will have no problem conceding my argument, but like I said, I'd have to hear it from the horses' mouths first.]]>Jan 20th 2009 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/Jan 19th 2009 3:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/Jan 19th 2009 3:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/Jan 19th 2009 4:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/Jan 19th 2009 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/Jan 19th 2009 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/Jan 19th 2009 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/Jan 19th 2009 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/Jan 19th 2009 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/Jan 19th 2009 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/19/handcrafted-scrabble-keyboard-could-stand-to-be-commercialized/
