Apple is now subject to the kind of scrutiny any other corporation has to put up with. The honeymoon might be over, but this is a good thing.

You can only spin the public for so long, before the public starts to feel sick.

I agree that Apple has been the darling of the media for a while, but I don't know if I would call this the same kind of scrutiny other corps put up with; this is bordering on irrational (if not there already).

Cast your mind back to recent history, and consider the pure hatred that has been expressed for Microsoft over the years.

Corporations don't need to be loved - they need to be kept in check.

Since when has Apple not be under the same "scrutiny" that any other corporation has had to "put up with?" did Apple just suddenly come upon the scene as a public technology company?
