"After announcing his departure from AnandTech, veteran technology journalist Anand Lal Shimpi will join Apple in an undisclosed role, reports Re/code. A representative for Apple confirmed that Shimpi would be joining the company, but also declined to provide any further details."

 

Wow. Good for him. He always did like Macs.

Explains why his apple reviews are always glowing...

Why? He definitely knows his shit. Why can't you possibly accept the idea that Macs are better than PCs in any way?

Yes, clearly moving up in your career is traitorous. Wow.

Never said he didn't know his stuff, he does. Imo they always cover apple events better than any others and the reviews are always better too.

Oh,I almost forgot to ignore you.

Thanks for reminding me.

 

PS:The new Mac Pro is the only Mac really worth buying.

You're welcome. Clearly I can't teach you anything of value.

All of their reviews are extremely thorough though. Apple devices are just more interesting from a technical standpoint, because they use custom SoCs and such.

You do know that Samsung makes Apple's SoC-s,right?

They manufacture them. Apple designs all of them.

I'm sorry, I'll edit it to not offend your delicate PC sensibilities.

 

 

Apple is just another computing platform, stop being spastic nerds.

But you people do it ALL THE FUCKING TIME. You can't even mention an Apple product on these forums without getting an unwarrantedly negative response from someone.

I never said apple sucked. I said it is traitorous for him to leave an awesome PC community and immediately take up a job for a 'competitor'. It's as if he did it just for the money...

And linus likes iphones, a lot of people here use iphones, and some mac books are not that bad for the money. Just don't go around saying 'apple is the best!!!' because there are MANY people here who don't know the rules and will just start a flame war.

So be nice and don't initiate anything please, thank you.

I'm not going to walk on tiptoes just to avoid starting flamewars. I'll say what I want to and how people take it is their problem. I'm not going to engage in any more flame wars though.

This. THIS THIS THIS THIS!

I didn't say windows is better I just said an opinion isn't fact you are throwing the word fact around this thread and I just got tired of it.

I don't mean to single you out either some of the windows fans are probably being bigger children for cursing anand out for joining apple.

I'm neither not an apple hater or a windows fan boy I'm a tech enthusiast willing to try a range of products.

Congratulations to anand he deserves it after his years of hard work.

Both you and the window/apple haters guys should stop being so butthurt you assumed because I told you opinions aren't fact I must be against you..

Maybe he will design a Mac that is not overpriced old technology.

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

I'm thinking given his talents for writing and evaluating he will be employed in PR and marketing.

Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.  Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding.

Wow, Anand retiring from his site AND joining APPLE.

 

I'm more worried about Linus now, he is probably in mourning after these double blows.  HANG IN THERE LINUS !!!  HE MIGHT NOT BE TURNING INTO A MAC PERSON !!!!!!!!

 

(guys, we gotta keep carrying that water to make Linus believe)

I am impelled not to squeak like a grateful and frightened mouse, but to roar...
