One thing he's right about ... he IS dry! I can hardly stand to watch him for even 30 seconds. Just take a look at all the Apple hardware sitting around him. You'll never get a fair review from this guy. just my opinion YMMV

I don't think holding that against him is unfair. Most may not agree but Apple laptops are like perfection as far as smoothness and the iPad is one of the best tablets out there so I don't blame them for using their products.

I do agree that he is hard to listen to AND look at.

OH MY GOD I want my 15 minutes back.

A) I HATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Podcasts, ESPECIALLY tech podcasts. They are so flippin' awkward and I have no idea how any human being can subscribe and submit their ears to listen to "journalists" drab ON AND ON with no type of transition into one topic from the other and all that awkward dead air that carries throughout each conversation. UGH

B) And a 10 minute plus spiel about how you know more about technology? Yeah I think I'm done with The Verge and a LOT of these tech sites. The art of reviewing is GONE. It's now just flipping the phone back and forth and 1) promote the companies that's paying for you 2) drab on and on about things that don't relate to the phone. Over it. It was the next best thing that I saw when I first discovered it because I get to see how products act before I could purchase them, but you barely get that experience anymore. 10 or 15 minutes of these multi-part reviews pertain to NOTHING about the item they're reviewing. They don't delve into the phones' ecosystem. They hit the homescreen several times, the app drawer, the camera, the browser, and then the speed tests. Is that what it's all about?
