Indeed. I'd suggest that, to paraphrase Colbert, "reality has a pro-Apple bias". The smarter Mac "fanboys" -- I would consider myself one -- are fanboys precisely because Apple has generally made good products for an awfully long time. Even its turkeys are generally made with good intentions, not as a way of screwing its customers.
At least since Jobs has been back. There was some fairly ill-conceived if not exactly malevolently-designed stuff coming out of Cupertino during the interregnum.
A recent linked piece nailed Apple's strengths and weaknesses: If Steve uses it, it generally rocks. If it doesn't, it could very well blow e.g. Ping.
