As a fan of Apple, I see people seeming to forget the antenna issue from the iPhone 4, and the current battery issue with the iphone 4s. The final cut issue of a few months ago, and many, many other missteps. All big companies make mistakes, and i think this entry is singling out Google for some strange reason.

I immediately thought about the first (?) releases Apple did for Windows: iTunes and Safari. Both were really bad but I have never seen software as buggy as that one new release of Safari that would crash if you clicked on any button.

It's basically a matter of how many good releases you do against the bad ones. Google is in bad shape right now but that changes quickly with a good release in the near future. (I'd say the new Gmail theme is a good release.)

"this entry is singling out Google for some strange reason"

Nothing strange, it is the normal dumbing effect of Apple fanboyism: one become blind to anything else.
