Part of this may be the fact that they are not willing to share daily tidbits with us; it\u2019s more like every month or two, when there\u2019s a new product or service to promote. For the rest of the time, the media is left to fend for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>So we have stories about something Apple is about to do, in all its granular variations, what they\u2019ve done, what they haven\u2019t done, and what they can do better. When all is said and done, it\u2019s hard to find any Apple move that hasn\u2019t been thoroughly analyzed by the informed and otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, we cover Apple Inc. extensively, as we\u2019ve done since 1999. Prior to that, I worked at several Mac-oriented magazines, and have also written about the company for such mainstream publications as USA Today. I suppose you can say I\u2019ve fallen into the trap, but I\u2019m also very much dedicated to getting things right. If Apple is going to be covered so minutely, at least let the coverage be based on reality as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>However, this state of affairs also means that some stories about Apple get overblown, far beyond their relative importance in the scheme of things.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Wait!
