AS WE stated about a month ago, July was a terrible month for Apple from a reputation perspective. The video we have just transcoded -- even though the language may be a barrier -- provides a summary. Here is where we found this video:

An enlightening CNN clip that interviews Jimmy Lai and takes us behind the scenes at Next Media's Taiwan animation headquarters quotes Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz huffily declaring that if this is the future of journalism, he wants no part of it. I can see his point. Lai is out to make money by syndicating his animations far and wide, Associated Press-style. But while the Steve Jobs clip does a decent job of covering a spring and summer's worth of Apple news -- stolen iPhone prototypes, suicidal Chinese workers -- it certainly doesn't fit under what we used to think of as "news." Steve Jobs isn't actually Darth Vader.
