Okay, I was not a particularly big fan of RoughlyDrafted after the Rob Enderle fiasco wherein he took Fake Steve Jobs’ satire about getting sued by Apple for “impersonating Dear Leader on the internet” a little too seriously – however, the site has redeemed itself, at least for today. Check out Pundits Pounce On Apple in a Contest of Epic Idiocy.

Here are some of the juicy parts – go and read the whole thing for yourself.

Only once a year, at the Macworld Expo, that warning is followed by a worldwide media announcement that Steve Jobs’ keynote disappointed and that everyone should be upset. Like the City’s weekly sirens, that predictable response by pundits makes for a bit of an attention arresting, jarring noise but is then quickly forgotten….Despite the best efforts of the tech media to consistently downplay the interest and novelty of Jobs’ Macworld presentation, this year Apple:

* presented plans to expand upon its lead in consumer wireless appliances
* released software updates for the iPhone and iPod Touch that prepare the way for its new WiFi mobile platform
* demonstrated an entirely new movie rental business for iTunes, iPods, the iPhone, and Apple TV
* unveiled a new ultra thin laptop to expand the hot selling MacBook line into competition with the existing high end, slim and light models offered by rivals.

Apple was also the first manufacture to release systems using Intel’s new Harpertown Quad Core Xeon, making the Mac Pro the most powerful PC on the planet. However, the company didn’t even find that news important enough to distract from its four February product announcements at Macworld; it simply slipped the introduction out in a minor press release prior to the event with as little fanfare as the announcement of a new pink iPod Nano in the week after the show….

Wags attacked the MacBook Air for not being the MacBook Pro, or alternatively for not being the entry level MacBook, but none believed their own asinine ramblings enough to actually pit the new Air against comparable ultramobile models, and instead bleated about missing FireWire and Ethernet cables for the highly portable laptop.

I know it’s a lot to ask, but please, wags of the world, stop making me look like a genius for pointing out the absurdity of your looney trolling, ridiculous naysaying, and insistence that up is down. Together we can enjoy a less stupid world, if you want it….

The author goes into GREAT detail on some of idiocy of the “underwhelmed” – go read the whole article. I think Windoze caused a reality distortion field of its own – and that field sends signals “we really don’t suck – apple is horrible – you hate apple – this is the Vista you are looking for”

As I have said, at least my cult doesn’t suck.
