Interesting rant from a journalist over reading to much into Apple's press releases, and not enough into Microsofts?

Isn't this really about how unprofessional a lot of journalists really are if that can be fooled this easily? (Actually even fooling themselves into reading way too much into "Let's Rock"....

If you don’t have a new product, don’t bullshit us, guys. Tell us “we’re only going to have a little get-together because we’re just rolling out some small stuff. Laptops are later.” If you’re going to entice journalists to come by saying it’s going to be big, and put up Gundam-sized posters saying “Let’s rock,” you better back that up! I know I’m coming off like an entitled prick here, but I really think Apple gamed the world on this one. They fooled hundreds of thousands into coming and seeing their little incremental update.

Meanwhile, Zune rolls out actually awesome updates and no one looks twice. You can hear a song on the radio, hit a button and it downloads it through the freakin air? That is space age, people! What are Apple’s new features? A song recommendation system that Pandora probably does better and an integrated Nike bit in the Touch. Nobody jogs with their Touch — that’s why they have a Nano!
