What do you do?

"IF YOU ARE a Mac fanboy reviewer and you think that anything that comes from Apple must be great, what do you do when something clearly isn't?"

Well, clearly you head over to the INQ site and wait for Nick Farrell to inevitably post an anti-Apple article.

Just curious - have you ever written a positive article about Apple? Personally, I'm not an Apple fan either, but you seem to harbor some genuine resentment.

about par for a review

That's about the level of uncritical commentary you get from reviews. The reviewers are so happy just to get a new toy, or so scared that any negative words will ban them from future reviews that rational thought and critical analysis goes out the window.
I once saw a product review in one of the mags for a PCI card that simply didn't work - it still got 3 out of 5.

Pete's rules for getting the truth from reviews:
1.) the reviewer must have bought the product themselves - anonymously, with their own money
2.) they must use the product for 4 weeks before writing the review
3.) good comments count for nothing (we expect products to be good, right?)
4.) comments about the colour/style/feel count for nothing
5.) the reviewer should validate the specification of the product, in real-life use

As you can expect, I'm still waiting to see a review that is worth reading...

Lame...

Those problems are not small, or easy for someone of standard knowledge of Apple computers (and that is low), let alone other drawbacks and lack of parts...
