Journalism?  In Time magazine?  Surely you jest.

Time magazine has become just as plagued with with biased journalism as nearly every other mainstream outlet out there.  Want proof?  Look no further than their coverage of US politics in an election year.  Look at their coverage on US politics as a whole any year.

As for the situation with Apple, I wholeheartedly agree with you on your analysis.  The idea of the IPad is great and is their basic selling point.  However, if you can't transfer documents (such as Word docs or even basic text docs) from a desktop mac (much less a PC) to the IPad or vice versa then consumers need to be aware of this.  More importantly, Apple needs to provide a fix to solve the compatibility issues at least with their own products.
