Mac news goes mainstream?
Tera Patricks asks "What's With All The Mac News These Days? Really!" Funny, I've been wondering the same thing. Apple has been plastered on the pages of every major metropolitan newspaper and news magazine, and has left its mark all over the major television networks and radio stations as well.
Tiger is a hot topic, and the Mac mini. As is podcasting (they don't call it "portable broadcasting"... it's glued to the iPod's hip). And what analyst hasn't weighed in on AAPL shares and the iPod "halo effect?"
And the man behind the myth? Steve Jobs, the omnipresent (no wonder he needs a Gulfstream) CEO, casting his so-called Reality Distortion Field (RDF) net far and wide.
Ah yes, the RDF. Is it really all about the RDF? Isn't Apple just finally getting the serious attention it deserves? Are all those Security Experts and IT managers really switching just because they dig the iPod? I think not.
Maybe the tides are turning on their own. What do you think?

Follow the money. The iPod sells, quicker than hot cakes. Mega Sales + trendy design = news. No-one (except for security managers, IT experts, and us) would give two hoots about Tiger or the Mac mini were it not for our little white portable friend.

So Steve Jobs has a Reality Distortion Field (RDF) for Apple... Hmm I think this means that Bill Gates has a Somebody Elses Problem Field for Microsoft...
