I’ve been following in the release of the new Samsung S4 (SIV) in the tech news this past week. Apparently Samsung had a bizarre and uncomfortable to watch stage show, which has gotten a lot of press comments for being strange, awkward and out of date.
Not being an Apple fan boy, and falling at the feet of everything that is Apple, I personally find these comments ironic. Since some of us (non Apple cool-aid drinkers) have always found Apple press releases and stage events to be equally over hyped, bizarre, what-have-you. I can easily see how they are not exactly alike and directly comparable in style, apples and oranges let’s say. Both could be considered weird. Samsung has strange Broadway style stage shows, and Apple never talks specs, but will talk endlessly about things being magical and living in a fantasy world where only Apple exists and it’s all about Steve feeling good about himself. Neither is about the product.
My point is, the tech press has always gulped the Apple cool-aid, and kissed Jobs feet to thank him for the privilege, and now they are being hypocrites. Samsung is doing their own weird thing to get attention, and they get dumped on in the reviews. Well the joke is on the press, cause I think it was the intension all along, to get the half-wit tech press to talk about Samsung by simply being over the top in a different way than that other company. Suckers! You fell for it like lemmings just like you do/did for Apple.
