Let me make it clear. I'm not a fan of Apple. I think that their products are overhyped, overpriced and underperforming. If you're looking for a fair unbiased opinion, you're looking in the wrong place. You've been warned. So, I was at Steve Jobs' 2004 WWDC keynote yesterday, attempting to take pictures for OSNews (an amazingly hard task, by the way, which really explained why people pay big bucks for big lenses equipped with image stabilizers). UPDATE: Stop reading right there, I have rewritten & updated the article here.

Here we go again, shooting the messenger. If you truly love OS X, then you should be willing to listen to criticism and judge its validity, instead of circling the wagons with panicked cries of "Troll!" Maybe he uses it because there are things about it he genuinely likes.
Same problem with the crime situation here in Jamaica. Journalists who focus on the murder rate, political corruption, drug turf wars etc are howled down for negativity, instead of playing up the many positive, beautiful things about this lovely island and people. There are many others who do focus on the positive aspects of our society, but the head-in-the-sand mentality will not negate the uglier side of things. The Mac universe is not all sweetness and light, despite the many beautiful things about it that make me a resolute Mac user.
Then again, maybe JBQ's somewhat bitter tone has nothing to do with the Mac. He's probably still smarting from France's humiliating loss to Greece in Euro 2004 (Eugenia, I told you not to gloat!)
