There's an interesting thing that happens in the technology press world, and probably throughout all of journalism land. It's weird, and it's become quite annoying to me. Basically, whenever someone writes something positive about a company, be it a product release or software update, the general public tend to jump to a conclusion quickly -- that the person writing the story is either a fanboy/fangirl of the company, or is in the "pocket" of the PR team at said company.
It's obnoxious. The sad part about it is that this behavior of simple-mindedness is starting cross over into the journalism ecosystem itself. Other journalists at other publications are starting to call out people for "drinking Kool-aid" or being an "apologist."
