Putting the "ass" into Akass

Personal Computer World is the only print magazine I buy nowadays, mainly because I've never got round to cancelling my subscription. Still, it provides an interesting off-line read every month. The one thing I can't stand, however, is the attitude which their News Editor, Clive Akass, takes toward Apple. I don't know if he was bullied by the Cupertino company as a child or something: it certainly reads that way at times.

The magazine's Test Bed Blog has been quiet of late, but has sprung back to life with two posts in the last two days, both of which have included pointless swipes at Apple. "Apple maxes out during CES" seems to be complaining about Apple announcing products while CES is on, while "Why I bought a [sic] Eee PC" takes a dig at "Apple's iToys" for not having proper keyboards.

Oh well, I suppose it's better he gets it out of his system here, rather than clogging-up the paper PCW's scant news pages with this drivel.
