I agree, now if it were the Boy Genius or one of the folks from the verge, it would be easily defensible.

Anand was a great hardware reviewer. The only other reviewer I think of that compares to him would be Lisa from mobiletechreview.com. Her reviews aren't as technical, but not everyone needs that. What's important is that she's got integrity.

How is that in any way a defensible position for The Verge? It’s an absurd and delusional position.

I like the verge too,but let's be serious.

Unfortunately it's what all of the pro-Android Apple-haters at my office immediately said. I don't think he was in any way biased, just passionate. If his reviews of Apple products were in any way more detailed than those of Android products (which I'm not sure they were), I'm certain it was simply due to the frequency of releases and that Apple products tend to be much more interesting technically.
