Seriously, how does Rob Enderle get paid to write about tech? He’s not a hot chick, and this isn’t Mad Men, so how in the world did he manage to convince anyone to give him money in exchange for his moronic ramblings? In his latest “article”, Enderle tries to argue that Apple has a PR […]
Continue reading...Does Apple’s Mighty Mouse Suck?
16. April 2009
A recent article in TechCrunch takes Apple’s Mighty Mouse to task, and we have to agree that they raise a lot of good points.
