their advice on other companies may be stellar, but they like so much of the rest of industry suffer from anti-apple sentiment.
Industry: "hey Apple, why don't you release a video iPod?"
Apple: "It's no use to put video on such a small screen!"
Industry: "C'mon, everybody is doing it!"
Rumors: "hey! Apple will produce a video iPod!"
*Apple introduces the video iPod*
Industry: "Pfff the screen is too small!"
...
Have they made any complaints about the small size of the screens on phones, digital cameras or video cams? Oh, no, those are just fine.
These Apple haters need to get a life. So does the rest of the biased media world!
