Randall Stross attacks the iPhone in the NYT using shills

,----[ Quote ]
| Back in 2007, the New York Times first instated 
| a ban on shills like Rob Enderle, who purport 
| to be independent analysts while actually 
| serving as paid mouthpieces for the firms they 
| represent. In the words of Times spokeswoman 
| Abbe Serphos, this supposedly included any 
| âanalysts who have an obvious business 
| relationship with a company.â
| 
| Itâs no secret that Enderle has been paid by 
| both Microsoft and Dell to say bad things about 
| Apple. It eventually became embarrassing for 
| the Times to realize its sloppy journalists 
| were stooping to quote him as a shortcut to 
| performing actual investigative research, hence 
| the ban.

Well this is what happens when you set expectation high then pull features out.
Few people know that Jaguar should have been Panther as a result Apple was
praised for Jaguar and Panther while Microsoft is already being lambasted for
crippled Vista.

[...]

I get to do a lot of columns these days, could guarantee each of these titles
not only would get published they would make the front page or pull amazing
numbers.

[...]

One thing has changed since '85 we have blogs now.

[...]

The press was taken through the product and every time a feature is dropped the
calls come in with the take that Vista is just smoke and mirrors now, I can
turn some of these but there are limitations to what I can do.
