I have for a long time had a particularly virulent hatred for Apple. There was a reason, but I couldn't articulate it well. This does it for me, and reminds me why Apple gets my goat: blatant lying. Any company that goes so far out of its way to manipulate the consumer pisses me off. Yes, they pretty much all do it, but this is so far out of line it boggles my mind.
Apple does have awesome design, a great Operating System, and great media applications. It also has ripoff prices, underperforming hardware, and a warped sense of reality. Eh, I lost my steam. I don't buy the stuff anyway, just thought it might be an interesting note for those who live by the word of Steve Jobs.
Note that if you do go to read that article, it is filled with those annoying "sponsored links" that are showing up these days.
Hardware Analysis - Apple cooks the numbers, again?
"Apparently Apple conveniently ignores the very basic principle of benchmarking; you should be comparing apples to apples, or at least make an effort to do so. This not only invalidates their scores but it makes Apple look particularly amateurish; clearly they don't know the first thing about fair benchmarking, or simply went out of their way to have the new PowerPC come out on top."
