uh, right? No way Engadget would post a pointless article about Apple unless it was something incredibly profound?

To set sarcasm aside - Endgaget, I am fine with Apple news. I like it when it is real news. But right now, do you think you could refrain from giving Apple free press? This article would be fine over on TUAW.

With the constant dwindling corporate ethics among Apple (and many other corps), I'd rather not see Apple getting all this micro press. How about we just ignore them for a while? If they actually release something new, write a story. Otherwise, fluff articles about what apps you can get for the iPad, what accessories are available, etc... is just free Apple marketing.]]>Apr 13th 2010 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/apple-teases-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapter-offers-no-price-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/apple-teases-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapter-offers-no-price-t/

I thought we all knew this by now? The business model for Apple is that all current standards of the given year are optional/additional purchases to the end user.

Maybe when the next successor of HDMI arrives, HDMI will be standard on MBPs.]]>Apr 13th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/apple-teases-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapter-offers-no-price-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/apple-teases-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapter-offers-no-price-t/
Apple posts seem to always get 50+ comments, and even if 90% of them are variations of 'I hate Apple,' increased revenue from page views and ad impressions = more articles about Apple.

The news coverage is fair.

Let's see, yesterday Microsoft announced two new devices and a completely new UI built off an un-released OS. The devices figure to be huge as they walk in the footsteps of the massively popular Sidekick. There were several articles about the Kin yesterday covering the release.

Now we move to today. As of 11:10 AM PST I count SEVEN Apple articles. Some are about minor refreshes to the Mac Books, we have posts about a phone dock, a display port adapter, and some other miscellaneous crap. All in all, a pretty typical day for Apple.

For Microsoft - following up on their huge announcement yesterday - we get exactly 2 posts. One mocking the Kin, the other pointing to a "flaw".

Engadget will always get fanboys who claim their product is slighted on a regular basis. Most of the criticism seems unfounded. But then you look at the overall coverage numbers AND tone of the writing and it's hard to argue that Engadget writers aren't firmly in Apple's pocket.]]>Apr 13th 2010 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/apple-teases-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapter-offers-no-price-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/apple-teases-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapter-offers-no-price-t/

Personally, I use the monoprice HDMI+USB audio adaptor to run Plex off my iMac (product ID 5969). 38 bucks, and it leaves your headphone jack free so you can split your audio (kids can be watching movie via Plex on TV, I can watch a movie on the iMac w/ headphones). ]]>Apr 13th 2010 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/apple-teases-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapter-offers-no-price-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/13/apple-teases-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapter-offers-no-price-t/
