Lots of folks are having a laugh at Apple

in apple on 2014-09-12 11:05 (#2SAJ)

A lot of the tech world is taking a moment to have a laugh at Apple, after a lackluster event earlier this week. Here are some of the digs:

Samsung is making fun of the streaming problems Apple had on a new Youtube video called It Doesn't Take a Genius.
The Telegraph is predicting that AndroidWear will come to quickly dominate the lackluster Apple Watch.
Macworld Magazine, the venerable journal that has covered Apple since 1984, is shutting its doors.
The Apple store crashed during preorders for the iphone 6 (OK, we could construe that as good news)
The Register has panned the Apple Watch as "nothing more than digital perfume" and concludes gadget-mania is over.
Most damning is this post making the rounds on Google Plus, telling iphone 6 users: welcome to 2012! If you need help with your iphone 6 features, just ask an Android user: we've had this stuff for years.

Is Apple off it's game? Or is the tech press just snippy as always? Or is the new Apple ecosystem going to wow us, as the fans predict?
