I don't get it. Apple vs Google developers conf coverage.
« on: June 25, 2014, 01:06:22 PM »
When Apple had their Worldwide Developer's Conference a couple weeks ago, CNN had continuous "Breaking News!" updates and live streaming from the conference.

Today, the first day of Google I/O, there's not even a mention on the front page.  :headscratch:

To get live updates, I had to go to The Times of India. 

Just weird to me.

There were a lot of amazing products announced.   And yet no mention on CNN after day 1.  Of course San Francisco IS Appleton, so... :-\

Some really neat streaming features in the new Android operation system.

Relevent and fair coverage from our media on any topic is rare at best. Apple must spend more on advertising.

It's more basic than all that.  The media gives us the info we're interested in, and nobody is all that interested in Android.    :shrug:

Why would you go to CNN for tech coverage?

No, the people that are interested in android are generally involved enough in tech to be getting info off of a tech forum or someone that's there and tweeting it. :P

Irrelevant, I think.

Most Android people buy tools, and, almost as often, toys.

Most Apple consumers are, to one degree or another, buying a brand (though to be fair, Apple does tend to lead most segments they play in when it comes to early release of products).

This Harley compared to Honda/Yamaha/Suzuki/Et Al

This makes Apple more newsorthy, as more people express interest in the brand.

We had two bags of grass, 75 pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

Does the tool/toy assumption apply to smartphones as well as tablets?

Yeah um, not true. Maybe you should take a better look at Google market share. You can read plenty of articles that go either way, but the bottom line is it is as big a player as Apple.
